The Sazerac cocktail recipe is a New Orleans classic and one of the most enduring drinks in the world.  This is a seemingly simple when looking at just the ingredients, but the real art is in the process.   One is transported to Bourbon Street when enjoying a Sazerac.  (Seersucker suit, optional).

The Sazerac

• 2oz Sazerac Rye Whiskey
• 2 dashes Peychaud's Bitters
• 1/4oz Legendre Herbsaint 
• 1 sugar cube **

Fill an Old Fashioned or Rocks glass with ice and allow the glass to chill while you prepare your cocktail.  In a mixing glass, muddle the sugar cube in the Peychaud's Bitters.   Add the Sazerac Rye to the mixing glass and stir into the bitters & sugar cube. Discard the ice cubes from your now chilled glass.  Give the chilled glass a quick rinse of Herbsaint by pouring in the 1/4oz and swirling the liquid around, coating the interior of the glass.  Discard excess Herbsaint from the glass and quickly add the Rye mixture from your mixing glass.  Garnish with a swath of lemon peel that is expressed over the liquid then hung on the rim or discarded.
