Sazerac

New Orleans in a glass — rye whiskey sweetened lightly and served in an absinthe-rinsed glass with Peychaud's-style bitters.

0/3

Served in a Old Fashioned / Rocks. Serve over a single large cube to slow dilution. The sturdy base supports muddling. Express citrus peels over the surface before dropping in.
