This twist on the classic Sazerac pairs absinthe, bourbon and chocolate to great effect

Pretty interesting - like a Revolver but with chocolate (and a hint of absinthe). I really like the combo of the sweet and the bourbon, but not that crazy about chocolate (it isn't bad, but I don't think it's something I'll reach for). Makes you think about other potential combos for cocktails.

A standard Sazerac is one of my favorite cocktails! I was a little worried about the sweet twist but it is perfect. I think it’s replaced an espresso martini as my favorite after dinner drink.

Tried with bourbon and was too sweet. Tried with rye and a bit better. Will try with less simple next time. However, the combination of flavors itself is excellent.

Does it get any better!

Used 50/50 Rye and Bourbon. Used 1/2 amount of sugar syrup, but found the drink a bit sweet. Would make again, but without the sugar syrup. Creme de Cacao added a very interesting touch.

However, we had this as an aperitif with some sharp cheddar cheese. It was outstanding. The chocolate flavour went perfectly.

The white creme de Cacao is a welcome addition to the Sazerac. I prefer Rye to Bourbon, and I prefer to chill the glasses, pour in just enough Absinthe to rinse the glass and pour of the excess. No ice required.
