Sazerac Cocktail

• 1 -2 teaspoon simple syrup
• 3 -4 dashes bitters
• 2 ounces Bourbon or 2 ounces rye whiskey
• 12 teaspoon Pernod
• 1 strip lemon peel

1. Combine syrup, whiskey and bitters in a cocktail shaker with ice.
2. Stir gently until whiskey is chilled.
3. (Don't shake, as you don't want froth in your sazerac.
4. ).
5. Coat a chilled glass (old fashioned or martini) with the Pernod.
6. Pour out any excess (unless you like a stronger anise flavor).
7. As I am not a traditionalist, sometimes I add more.
8. Pour the whiskey mixture into the chilled glass.
9. Twist the lemon peel so it releases its oil, then add to the cocktail.
