  • Prefer with 1/4 oz 2:1 demerara syrup and another dash or two of bitters. But a nice variation on the classic.

Comments

Much better with 5ml rich demerara syrup, 3 dashes Peychaud's and 1 dash Ango, absinthe rinse and a discarded twist - i.e. a classics Sazerac spec with the base swapped out.
