Sunnys Sazerac Recipes

Steps:

• Muddle the sugar and bitters to a paste in an old-fashioned glass. Fill the glass with ice, add the bourbon and stir for 12 to 15 seconds with a bar spoon or long-handled spoon.
• In a second old-fashioned glass, add the absinthe, swirl to coat the inside of the glass, then discard the excess absinthe. Strain the bourbon mixture into the absinthe-rinsed glass.
• Serve without ice, neat. Garnish with a lemon peel.

Steps:

• Muddle the sugar and bitters in a cocktail shaker until the sugar dissolves. Add the bourbon, Pernod and some ice. Shake to combine. Strain into 4 rocks glasses. Garnish with the lemon peels.

Steps:

• Mix 1 teaspoon sugar, a few dashes each Peychaud's and angostura bitters and a splash of water in a shaker. Add 2 ounces rye, fill with ice and stir. Rinse a chilled old-fashioned glass with anise-flavored liqueur (such as absinthe). Strain into the glass; garnish with a lemon twist.

Steps:

• Chill a rocks glass. Meanwhile, in a mixing glass three-quarters filled with ice, mix the rye, simple syrup and bitters and stir until chilled, about 30 seconds.
• Pour the Herbsaint into the chilled rocks glass and rotate until the liqueur coats the inside of the glass. Strain the contents of the mixing glass into the rocks glass. Rub the lemon twist along the rim of the rocks glass, twist over the drink and discard.

Steps:

• Store a cocktail glass in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes before making the cocktail.
• Pour the anise flavored liqueur into the frosted glass and turn to coat the sides. Dump excess liqueur in the sink (or drink it!). Add sugar, water and bitters to the glass, stirring to dissolve. Strain into the glass and pour in the rye. Stir and garnish with a twist of lemon.

Steps:

• Coat chilled rocks glass with absinthe. Muddle sugar cube with bitters in a mixing glass; add rye and ice. Stir. Strain into chilled rocks glass. Twist lemon peel over the drink to release oils, then discard twist.
