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

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

  • Wow! So simple, but one of the better negroni variations I've had in a long time. Next time I make, I feel like I might back off on the campaign just slightly.
  • Interesting. Spicy and sweet coming in, dry and bitter going down. Saline could probably be increased, maybe even doubled.

Really great, though with my combo of Espolon, Gran Classico, and Cocchi Americano, the tequila got kind of lost and I ended up adding about a half oz more.

  • Used .5oz Smith & Cross, .5oz Borgoe Extra Aged Suriname Golden Rum. Homemade dram. Surprisingly good, slightly boozy with the S&C.
  • Made with HSE Rhum Agricole, Nice when in the mood for something a little sweet. — ★★★★
  • Worth trying again with oloroso. Christmassy, with a bit of flat-cola taste.

That's a lot of pie spice in one cocktail -- too much for me.

  • Look at measurements.. I believe the base of a tiki drink is here..
  • Nice and the vanilla syrup rounds it out and gives it some caramel notes. Very easy to drink. Made it with Cockspur 12 may try some other rums.

  • I used the wrong cachaca for this, and my twist was meager. I think it'd be worth trying again.
