1 sugar cube
2 1/2 ounces rye whiskey

EMERIL'S SAZERAC COCKTAIL



Emeril's Sazerac Cocktail image

From Emeril Lagasse's book "Every Day's a Party"; posted for ZWT 5. From the intro to the recipe: "When the Sazerac was first created, it contained an imported cognac made by a company called Sazerac-Deflorge et Fils of Limoges, France. The mixture changed in the late 1870's, when American rye whiskey was substituted for the brandy." The original recipe is attributed to Antoine Amadie Peychaud, a Creole apothecary. It was originally served in an egg cup, known as a 'coquetier' in French. Some historians think the word 'cocktail' comes from a mispronunciation of the word. This recipe was provided by Marcelle Bienvenu after a newspaper assignment.

Yield Makes 1 cocktail

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lump sugar
3 drops Peychaud's bitters
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 jigger rye whiskey
1 dash Herbsaint or Pernod or Absinthe
1 strip lemon peel

Steps:

  • Fill a small old-fashioned glass with cracked ice and set aside. In another small old-fashioned glass, put the lump of sugar and just enough water to moisten it. With a spoon, crush the sugar, then add the Peychaud's bitters, Angostura bitters, whiskey, and several ice cubes. Stir. Never use a shaker. Empty the first glass of ice, add the Herbsaint or Pernod, twirl the glass around, and shake the liqueur out. Strain the whiskey mixture into the glass, twist in the lemon peel, and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the rye whiskey. A good rye whiskey will have a smooth, spicy flavor that will shine through in the cocktail.
  • Make sure the absinthe is properly chilled before using it. This will help to prevent it from overpowering the other ingredients in the cocktail.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed glass to make the cocktail. This will help to keep the ice from melting too quickly and diluting the cocktail.
  • Stir the cocktail gently for at least 30 seconds. This will help to incorporate all of the ingredients and create a smooth, well-balanced cocktail.
  • Garnish the cocktail with a lemon twist. This will add a touch of citrusy flavor and aroma to the cocktail.

Conclusion:

The Sazerac is a classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are a fan of rye whiskey or absinthe, you are sure to enjoy this delicious and refreshing cocktail.
