Doug Fir bartenders are for the most part pretty damn awful. Kinda like the food. Not sure what I was thinking. Another great option would be Absente, a terrific pastis for use in cocktails. I feel that dropping the lemon peel adds too much lemon to the drink and overpowers the other, more delicate flavors.
But my words are always to be taken with a grain of salt. If you like more lemon in your Sazeracs, by all means demand that the peel be left in.
What would be a decent sub? Great post. Very educational. Unless, of course, you get your butt down to LA again soon and can make me a proper goddam drink! I buy mine by the case on the internet somehwere. Now if I could only find that link around here…. While I am in clear agreement of most of this list, I do have a quible or two. Firstly, you cannot demand a dash of Angostura and then insist the peel be thrown out after being expressed.
The Angostura is clearly an addition albeit an early one that is a result of personal preference. Just as leaving the peel in I think it looks nice and I like the staying power that the physical piece of lemon gives to the nose can be seen as a personal preference.
Also, while I am not a fan of this drink in a cocktail glass, the tumbler is just plan inelegant. We have taken to using the Riedel Bourbon glass and it is, quite simply, gorgeous. Is this just a pipe dream? So, Jeff? I mean it. This next time for sure. After years of using Herbsaint, I have switched to using Lucid. Given that I like the taste of Absinthe I leave it in the glass after I have coated it. It is truly a shame that bartenders even here in New Orleans get this drink wrong.
A few weeks ago after being told by a bartender that she makes the best Saz around, I was given Bourbon flavored sugar water. Seeing as she was older than Methuselah, I was polite enough to drink it, but I certainly did not order another. He can make a Sazerac, how unexpected. I was forced to turn away after watching Jim Bean and Orange Curcacao go into the shaker. Who knows what others horrors followed.

Legend has it that the Sazerac originated at the Sazerac Coffee House in the s or 40s where Antoine Peychaud used his famous medicinal bitters as a health tonic with cognac. At the time, in the early s, cocktails were simply called by the name of the base spirit, so that you would have a Whiskey Cocktail, a Brandy Cocktail or a Rum Cocktail, etc. Sazerac-de-Forge-et-Fils was popular cognac at the time and was served at the original Sazerac Coffee House.
Perhaps the name Sazerac Cocktail came from the use of that cognac as a base for the drink. Later, in , a patent application was made by Vincent Miret for the bottling of a Sazerac Cocktail, but the cocktail itself was very close to the Improved Whiskey Cocktail published in by Jerry Thomas.
The Improved Whiskey Cocktail also included maraschino cherry liqueur to the basic list of ingredients for the Sazerac. Given its few ingredients the Sazerac cocktail is very forgiving. But the devil is always in the details. Traditionally, a lemon peel is expressed over the drink, then discarded, but some mixologists prefer to add it to the drink. Some mixologists feel an orange peel is a better option for the drink.
I can tell you what I love, but since each person has a different palate and different set of sense memories, it makes more sense for you to take a few minutes to test out a couple of iterations of the cocktail to see which you prefer. Both contain sugar and bitters, but a traditional Old Fashioned tends to use Angostura bitters. After Peychaud immigrated to New Orleans, the pharmacist began to market a cure-all concoction for ailing patients that consisted of his namesake bitters mixed with, water, brandy and sugar.
Over the years, the drink transitioned to a rye whiskey base, first mentioned in print in William T.
