Sazerac, Hanwell Style

[Leon Marks]

30ml each of the rum and rye whiskey. A teaspoon of absinthe, a few shakes of bitters, half a teaspoon of muscavado sugar and a splash of water. The lemon makes all the difference.



Still getting there on the recipe but this has pushed aside the Old Fashioned for me.

The Rex potato peeler is the best tool for the lemon twist.

Challenge accepted! I suspect there is another Sazerac in my near future.

The peeler helped but I think my lemons aren’t the best. Still - a good excuse to practice my peeling…
