My first Sazerac!

Just mixed and sampled my first Sazerac cocktail, with much help from BigO (thanks Jason!).

Followed the original recipe using Old Overholt rye whisky, Herbsaint pastis, & Peychaud's bitters. There is a definite ritual involved in making this drink. Preparation is everything.

The drink itself is fairly amazing. The flavours of the rye whisky and the anise are there, gently mingling together while maintaining their separate identities. There is lemon also, and some other flavors that I can't identify that are probably the result of the alchemy of the ingredients. Very different, very refreshing taste.

The recipe only makes a 2 oz drink. (Maybe that is saying something). My next one will be a double. Perhaps I'll see the Green Fairy tonight!
