Sazerac

People like to say the Sazerac is a close cousin to an Old Fashioned. To me, it is more of New Orleans’ “hold my beer” response to it. The history, and even the true ingredients in a Sazerac, falls in line with a lot of food that stems from New Orleans culture. I prefer using rye whiskey instead of brandy.

Recipe

  • 1

    sugar cube

    Peychaud’s bitters
