Notes

The original recipe from Brian Quinn on Food Republic indicates absinthe but I think if you've got Herbsaint if you really want a true Sazerac variation. The original also calls for Bitter Truth orange bitters.

  • Made it with Ramazzotti, and Fee Bros. bitters. Not bad, a Sazerac taken in a very chocolatey direction. Light misting of Herbsaint sufficed.

Curated this. Added creator and date, rewrote instructions to avoid copyright. Changed the type to "altered" - this is Herbsaint/Regans vs. Absinthe/BT Orange. Thanks,, Zachary

Dualing curators. I shortened up the instructions to conform to our style guidelines. Our readers don't need detailed SOP instructions.
