27. Sazerac
Ingredients:
– 5cl Cognac
– 1 cl Absinthe
– 1 sugar cube
– 2 drops of Peychaud's bitter
Country: United States
Year: Early 1800s
Glass: Tumbler
IBA extension: The Unforgettables
The cocktail is prepared by flavoring the glass in which it will be served with absinthe. Then place the absinthe in a tumbler with crushed ice and set aside.
While the glass takes the sign of the “green fairy”, in a mixing glass mix cognac and a sugar cube, soaked in Peychaud bitter and dissolved in a little soda with a bar spoon.
Finally, empty the contents of the tumbler (with any residual absinthe) and filter the drink prepared in the mixing glass inside the tumbler and serve without ice.
Garnish with lemon essential oils.
