Episode 96 - That's the Sazerac, Jack!

This Episode's Cast of Characters

You look like a person who could use two nice cocktails.  How about these two?

The Babancourt Sazerac

2 oz Rhum Barbancourt 8 (or 5)
1/2 oz simple syrup 
6 dashes Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas bitters
2 cloves

Herbsaint rinse – rinse the serving glass with Herbsaint (we used a mist ofTaboo Absinthe)

Add everything into a mixing glass, adding ice and stir.  Strain into a chilled glass and finish with twisting a lemon peel above the glass to let the oils come out and if you wish also rinse the rim with the peel.

Super easy and outrageously good!

Almost gone!

The Bounty

1 oz Sazerac Rye Whiskey
3/4 oz Oloroso Sherry 
1/2 oz Pineapple Syrup
2 dash Peychaud's Bitters
1 dash Bittermens Tiki Bitters (we used Jerry Thomas's Bitters)

Stir with ice, strain into a rocks glass pre-rinsed with Herbsaint (we used a mist of Taboo Absinthe), and garnish with an orange twist.

Yummy!  Just make sure you use a nice pineapple syrup.  Either make your own or buy a fresh bottle.

Try 'em both and leave a comment!  Cheers!
