The Sazerac cocktail is a classic drink hailing from New Orleans. This version is inspired by Vermont, and uses maple syrup instead of a sugar cube.
HOW TO MAKE YOUR SAZERAC
Start by pouring a splash of absinthe in an old fashioned glass, about 1/4 ounce, and rinse all along the inner edges. Discard any excess.
Strain whiskey mix into the absinthe rinsed glass, and if desired, add ice cubes or drink it neat.
Garnish with an orange twist or Luxardo cherry, and serve on the rocks or neat.
