How to Make the Best Sazerac Cocktail

[@philipmcglasson533]

discovered this drink in Lafayette a few weeks ago. Have enjoyed an Old Fashion for years. This has a distinctive New Orleans taste. The Vieux Carre. if you've spent anytime in the French Quarter you'll understand.

[@playingforghosts]

I can never find a good one anywhere. Some of the best cocktails come outta New Orleans in my opinion.

[@pbkayakyer]

Dude's got the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection sitting on the bar... I'd say I'm jealous, but not really. I'd just be happy to get regular Buffalo Trace products on a regular basis. You can keep the fancy stuff 😉

[@nelsontorres6855]

Where did you get the cup? I love that style

[@phi376]

Excellent Rye whiskey. 👍🏽 In New Orleans, we prefer a sugar cube. I consider it a perfect dilution when there’s a little bit of crystal still left in the bottom of the glass when it is served.

[@nonono-vd9io]

The sugar cube is the best especially when there is a little bit of sugar left at the bottom of the glass for the last couple of sips.

[@joshuafink8019]

From New Orleans area too and completely agree

[@Barprints]

Try a split base (cognac and whiskey) and an atomizer for the absinthe! I do that with mine. You won't be disappointed! 👍

[@JabbaHutt444]

LOVE a split base - it's how I often make them at home (though we were bigging up BTAC in some vids for this - though Handy makes maybe the best Saz if you're going for a straight rye base)

2:09 what was that 1 teaspoon ? sugar syrup / simple syrup ?

[@Squilfinator]

I believe so yes

[@JabbaHutt444]

2:1 (rich) sugar syrup!

[@jynxleturie782]

I happily work for Sazerac.

[@joshuafink8019]

I live in New Orleans area. Can you get me some Handy for my Sazerac? 🤣

[@daveykillz2780]

Just saw a bottle of thomas handy locally. 500 bucks. Each cocktail have to be about 40 bucks lol

[@JabbaHutt444]

We were fortunate enough to get them at actual wholesale price, so charged more like 25. But yeah it's a luxurious choice. 'Sazerac' Rye or Rittenhouse 100 both make an amazing one at far cheaper prices.

[@stevefromchicago8277]

I want to drink at that bar!

[@cocktailsdreams]

Nice

[@dtoad88]

this was excellent!

[@OscarGonzalez-wx4wr]

"were gonna add a single bar teaspoon' He never even said what it was he was adding.

[@FineDiningTV]

Hi Oscar. It's sugar syrup... He mentions it at the start but admittedly it's not very clear when pouring.

[@JabbaHutt444]

Good spot Oscar - shot in effectively one take so totally missed that oversight. As FDTV said, it's a 2:1 rich sugar syrup.

[@butopiatoo]

EXACTLY!! I assume it was simple syrup. Demerara is the best. Adds that molasses touch.

[@theestimator]

Pee-Show Bitter's , sorry mate can't find it on Amazon..........

[@phi376]

Peychaud’s bitters.

[@JabbaHutt444]

@@phi376 Indeed. Also, Bitter Truth Creole Bitters are brilliant.

[@banditthesiberian8156]

I’m happy I got baby saz this dude pulls out T handy thats a 90$ shot seen over 400$ for a pappy

[@denbo74]

It’s pronounced “pay-shawd” bitters

[@CidermanBob]

What a waste of Thomas Handy Rye. Sacrilege.😜

[@joshuafink8019]

Man I clicked the video just to see if he really used Handy lol. Has entire BTAC collection sitting there. Love a good Sazerac but with baby saz

[@carlitosway6989]

Don't know what your putting in the drink, too much talking
