Sazerac

#cocktailsonleo #brandy

• 2 ounces Brandy
• 1/4 ounce Absinthe
• 1 Sugar Cube
• 2 Dashes Peychaud’s Bitters

Rinse a chilled old-fashioned glass with the absinthe, add crushed ice and set it aside.

Stir the remaining ingredients over ice in a mixing glass. Discard the ice and any excess absinthe from the prepared glass, strain the mixed drink into the glass.

NOTE:
The original recipe changed after the American Civil War, Rye Whiskey substituted Cognac as it became hard to obtain.

Garnish with lemon zest.
