Servings: 2 people
Equipment
- Old Fashioned Glasses
Ingredients
- 4 Ounces Bourbon Whiskey Rye would also work well with this recipe
- ½ Ounce Absinthe
- ½ tablespoon Maple Syrup Vermont preferred
- Ice
- Garnish of lemon or orange peel and Luxardo Cherries Optional
Instructions
- Pour a splash of the Absinthe, about ¼ ounce each, into a Old Fashioned glass, and rinse along the inner edges. After the glass is well coated, discard any excess absinthe.
- In a cocktail shaker or cocktail mixing glass, add a few ice cubes, and add the whiskey and maple syrup. Stir well.
- Strain whiskey mix into the absinthe rinsed glass, and if desired, add ice cubes and garnish. Enjoy!
Notes
A traditional Sazerac uses a sugar cube to sweeten the whiskey, but using Vermont maple syrup gives it a warmer, earthier flavor, inspired by the Green Mountains of Vermont.
I prefer to use Four Roses Bourbon Whiskey or Bulleit Rye Whiskey for this drink.
