  • Very good - love the berbere use. I subbed in a pepper infused vodka, a bit of ss, and a spray of Laphroaig for the Ancho. Must try w/ Ancho when I get it.

Not bad, but a little blah with honey syrup. Maybe cinnamon syrup or Donn's #2?

shadowkirby commented on 7/22/2023:

Used 1:1 honey syrup, likely changes a lot based on the honey. A lightly sweet whisky sour variation. Added some lavender as a garnish which worked nicely.

1⁄2 oz Averna

1 cube Sugar cube
1 rinse Pastis, Herbsaint
1 twst Orange peel (as garnish)
Instructions

Muddle bitters & sugar, add liquids, stir, strain into rinsed glass, garnish.

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

Kindred Cocktails commented on 2/19/2015:

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