Ingredients

Servings

For the double-strength simple syrup

  • 2 cups demerara sugar or turbinado sugar
  • 1 cup water cold

For the Sazerac

  • 6 dashes anise bitters or anise extract
  • 1 1/2 ounces rye whiskey 100-proof
  • 1/2 ounce cognac
  • 1 teaspoon simple syrup double-strength
  • 4 dashes Peychaud’s bitters
  • 2 dashes aromatic bitters
  • 2 dashes lemon bitters for garnish

Instructions

Make the double-strength simple syrup

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the sugar and stir until all of the sugar is wet.
  2. Place over medium heat and cook, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved, which should happen just before the syrup boils.
  3. Let cool. Pour into a jar or covered container and refrigerate for up to 2 months.

Make the Sazerac

  1. Coat the inside of an old-fashioned glass with the anise bitters or anise extract and dump out any excess.
  2. Stir in all the remaining ingredients except for the lemon bitters. Add an oversize ice cube. Sprinkle with the lemon bitters.
