Description

The Sazerac cocktail, a New Orleans native, takes on a Keystone State flair in this blueberry and maple rendition of the famous classic.

Instructions

  1. Rinse the inside of a glass with absinthe by putting a small amount in and rolling the glass around in your hands. Pour the rest back in the bottle or discard.

  2. In a mixing tin, muddle the blueberries until all the juice has been released.

  3. Fill the tin halfway with ice.

  4. Add the whiskey, maple syrup and 5 dashes of Peychaud's.

  5. Using a bar spoon, stir the ingredients until well mixed.

  6. Strain into a glass using both a Hawthorne and a small mesh strainer in order to catch all of the blueberry pulp.

  7. Squeeze a lemon zest over the glass to release the oils and garnish with a lemon twist.
