Made it with Rémy Martin 1738 Accord Royal and High West Bottled in Bond Rye. Stunning

I found throwing to be a little bit of a pain. Probably because not used to it, but it was a damn fine sazerac.

I don’t dare throwing and with ice it’s going to go all over the place. I could try at someone else home perhaps any takers ? lol

A « Shot glass » is definitely not big enough to hold the great green fairy.
Sush a tasty drink !

A beautifully balanced cocktail. We thought it was closer to a La Louisiane than a New Orleans Sazerac.

My favorite drink. I make mine with bourbon or rye & Peychaud Bitters 3-4 dashes to make it on the spicier side. I like mine sweet so I use more simple syrup than most will. And I definitely guzzle that extra absinthe, no way would I waste it. For my customers that do not prefer the flavor of absinthe, I use a spray aspirator and spray 2-3 spritzes over the top so they get the scent with very little flavor. But I coat mine! I use fennel from my garden to garnish for added scent.

This is a beautiful sazerac, wonderfully aromatic, even with a bottle of Peychaud bitters that was likely past its best. Still need to practise the throwing technique a bit more though!

Does one sip the side shot of Absinthe or shoot it?
