Paul Gustings, the bartender at Broussard's in New Orleans, is nothing if not exacting when it comes to his Sazerac. "It has to be Old Overholt," he said of his choice of rye. And not the standard two ounces, but an ounce and three-quarters. The glass must be rinsed with the anise-flavored liqueur Herbsaint, not absinthe. And, he said, "I use much more Peychaud's that others do: 11 dashes." That's only, however, if you're halfway through the bottle of bitters. If you've just opened it, it's 13, according to Mr. Gustings, who says the dashes are smaller at that point; if you're near the end, make it 10 dashes. The extra dose of bitters gives the drink a rosier glow than most Sazeracs, and a very dry finish.

SAZERAC

Rye is absolutely vital in a Sazerac, among the most supernaturally alluring of drinks and frequently a bartender's favorite. Peychaud's bitters, which are made by the Sazerac Company in Louisiana, are asked for here, and are lighter than the more commonly found Angostura variety. If you can't get your hands on some, try using your own favorite bitters. (The New York Times)
