Sazerac
- 2 ounces Brandy
- 1/4 ounce Absinthe
- 1 Sugar Cube
- 2 Dashes Peychaud’s Bitters
Rinse a chilled old-fashioned glass with the absinthe, add crushed ice and set it aside.
Stir the remaining ingredients over ice in a mixing glass. Discard the ice and any excess absinthe from the prepared glass, strain the mixed drink into the glass.
NOTE:
The original recipe changed after the American Civil War, Rye Whiskey substituted Cognac as it became hard to obtain.
Garnish with lemon zest.
I'd love one of those.
