Sazerac
Absinthe-rinsed rye drink
A Sazerac is a cocktail made with rye whiskey (or cognac), absinthe or Herbsaint, sugar, and Peychaud's bitters, typically served in a chilled glass with a lemon peel.
The drink originated in New Orleans and is considered one of America's oldest cocktails: We ordered Sazeracs at the hotel bar.
