Sazerac Cocktail
- Ready In:
- 5mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
1 cocktail
ingredients
- 1 -2 teaspoon simple syrup
- 3 -4 dashes bitters
- 2 ounces Bourbon or 2 ounces rye whiskey
- 1⁄2 teaspoon Pernod
- 1 strip lemon peel
directions
- Combine syrup, whiskey and bitters in a cocktail shaker with ice.
- Stir gently until whiskey is chilled. (Don't shake, as you don't want froth in your sazerac.).
- Coat a chilled glass (old fashioned or martini) with the Pernod.
- Pour out any excess (unless you like a stronger anise flavor). As I am not a traditionalist, sometimes I add more.
- Pour the whiskey mixture into the chilled glass.
- Twist the lemon peel so it releases its oil, then add to the cocktail.

I am a retired proofreader and graphic designer. Lifelong love of cooking (and eating, too, of course!). It's wonderful for stress relief. Nurtures the soul as well as the body. I'd call my style "international comfort food."
