Thought this may be fun and useful:
I'll start with my Sazerac Recipe:
1 tsp Cane Sugar (I prefer Turbinado)
2 drops Peychaud bitters
1 tsp Water
2 drops Angostura Bitters
1 cup Cracked Ice
2 oz Rye (or Bourbon in a pinch)
1 tsp Herbsaint or Absinthe (I prefer Herbsaint)
Lemon Twist
In a shaker, muddle the sugar, water and Peychaud bitters. Add Angostura bitters, ice and rye (bourbon). Shake gently until well chilled. Pour Herbsaint or Absinthe into an old fashioned glass. Swirl to coat glass insides and bottom and pour out excess. Strain drink mixture into glass and add lemon twist. Sit back in the rocking chair on the front porch ad enjoy. If you get really good (or drunk) you can coat the glass by holdng it between your hands and spinning it quickly up into the air and then catch it as it returns downward, all without spilling the Herbsaint/Absinthe or breaking the glass.
