Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Sazerac Cocktail.
Step 1
Start by filling a rocks glass with a cup of ice and let it chill for about five minutes. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect, refreshing temperature. Once chilled, discard the ice and set the glass aside.
Step 2
In a cocktail shaker, combine three dashes of Peychaud's Bitters, two dashes of Angostura Bitters, and one sugar cube. Use a cocktail muddler to mash them together until the sugar is well dissolved. This creates a flavorful base for your cocktail.
Step 3
Next, add another cup of ice to the shaker along with two fluid ounces of rye whiskey. Stir the mixture gently until it's beautifully chilled, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 4
Now, strain the chilled cocktail into your prepared glass, which should be nice and frosty from the ice. This is where the magic happens!
Step 5
To finish, take a lemon peel and twist it over the surface of the cocktail to release its aromatic oils. This adds a delightful citrus essence to your drink. Discard the lemon peel, and your Sazerac Cocktail is ready to be enjoyed!
