Steps:

- Pour the sugar syrup, both types of bitters and whiskey into a large mixing glass or jug. Add 25ml cold water and a good handful of ice. Stir until the outside of the vessel feels really cold. Taste - if it's too sweet or strong, keep stirring to dilute it further.

SAZERAC
The Sazerac was invented by pharmacist Antoine Amedee Peychaud in New Orleans sometime in the early 1800s. In his French Quarter drugstore, M. Peychaud served his concoction of Sazerac cognac, absinthe, sugar, and his homemade bitters in the large end of an egg cup-what the French call a coquetier. (There had been speculation that the word cocktail comes from the mispronunciation of coquetier, but this myth has been disproven.) Later, rye whiskey replaced Sazerac cognac because it was more readily available, but the name stayed. The traditional making of a Sazerac is a ritual still practiced in New Orleans. It begins with the bartender pouring Herbsaint into a rocks glass, then tossing the glass in the air while yelling "Sazerac!" Coating the inside of a glass with liquor is referred to as "seasoning" the glass. The glass is then chilled as the cocktail is made. At Employees Only, we make Sazeracs by seasoning the glass with our Absinthe Bitters, and we use Angostura bitters in addition to Peychaud's.

Steps:
- Pour the Absinthe Bitters into a rocks glass. Swirl it around until the inside of the glass is completely coated, then discard the excess. Place in the freezer to chill. Place both sugars in the bottom of a mixing glass and saturate them with the Peychaud's and Angostura bitters. Muddle the sugars and bitters into a consistent paste. Add the whiskey and stir gently. Add large cold ice cubes and stir for 40 revolutions. Strain into the seasoned rocks glass and garnish with a lemon twist.

- Complexity: high with subtle complexity

Tips:
- Use fresh hibiscus flowers for the best flavor. Dried flowers can also be used, but they will not be as flavorful.
- Make sure to steep the hibiscus flowers in hot water for at least 10 minutes to extract their full flavor.
- If you don't have hibiscus flowers, you can use hibiscus tea bags instead. Just steep the tea bags in hot water for the same amount of time.
- Use a good quality rye whiskey for the best results. A rye whiskey with a high proof (80-100 proof) will work best.
- If you don't have rye whiskey, you can use bourbon whiskey instead. However, the flavor of the cocktail will be slightly different.
- Use simple syrup to sweeten the cocktail. You can make your own simple syrup by dissolving sugar in hot water. Or, you can use store-bought simple syrup.
- Garnish the cocktail with a hibiscus flower or a lemon twist.
Conclusion:
The Hibiscus Sazerac is a delicious and refreshing cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you are looking for a new cocktail to try, give the Hibiscus Sazerac a try. You won't be disappointed!
