Highland Sazerac
A dash of malt gives a Highland influence to the Sazerac, also given a herbal note due to a generous splash of Chartreuse

An atomizer really is a game changer for these types of cocktails. I've always used an atomizer for absinthe because I can't stand to waste it, but it's obviously even more valuable for Chartreuse. I keep atomizers of absinthe, Chartreuse, Angostura, and Laphroaig on hand. Practical but also always very cool for your guests!

I wonder if the plastic parts like the straw inside and other parts would leach chemicals in it after some time with such a high abv if stored permanently

Very nice cocktail. It feels a bit softer and smoother to me than a traditional Sazerac. I used Glenlivet 12 and Remy Martin 1738. A little bit of time I'm the glass also helped smooth it out.

I made this for my mother, a single-malt whiskey fan. I used her 17YO Glenburgie scotch - it went down well. I didn't want to waste any Green Chartreuse, so I used an atomiser which seemed to work well. No lemon, so I had to make do with a blood orange peel.

"DISCARD...the Chartreuse"?! Seriously, these days?!!! Thank you for not wasting it in your version!?

This was great. I found it a bit smoother than the regular New Orleans Sazerac. We had it to end Burn's Night with some shortbread. A perfect after-dinner cocktail.

Geez- $95 a bottle and it gets thrown away? ;-)

Good point! In our classic Sazerac recipe we suggest enjoying the absinthe shot on the side so perhaps you could do the same for this one, and strain the Chartreuse from the ice to enjoy as a bonus side sipper.

Perfect for late night sipping. Sazarac flavors with depth from ingredients.
