Tarragon Sazerac

1) Tarragon Sazerac

This isn’t an especially unique drink, because it’s just a slight twist on the original, but my mom wanted Sazeracs for Mother’s Day.

Ingredients for 2 cocktails
7 oz rye
1/4 oz absinthe or Pernod
3/4 oz tarragon syrup*
2 sprigs tarragon
6 dashes Peychaud’s bitters

Instructions
Add rye and syrup to a pitcher with ice and stir
Coat two chilled old fashioned glasses with absinthe, discard remaining absinthe.
Pour contents of pitcher into glasses, add bitters and sprigs of tarragon

*Tarragon syrup: made with 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/4 cup fresh tarragon sprigs.

Rosemary's Green

3) Rosemary’s Green

Ingredients for two cocktails
6oz Dogfish Head Jin
1 oz Sweet Vermouth
1 oz Chili-Rhubarb Syrup
Juice from 1/2 lemon
1/4 cup fresh rosemary sprigs plus two whole sprigs
1/4 oz cointreau or other orange liqueur
2 lemon slices
4 dashes Fee Brothers’ Rhubarb Bitters

Instructions
Chill two martini glasses
Add syrup, rosemary, and lemon juice to shaker with ice and muddle until rosemary is well-bruised.
Add gin and vermouth, shake
Coat glasses with Cointreau, pour out remainder
Strain into glasses, add bitters, rosemary sprigs and lemon

This drink might sound like it has too many ingredients, but it was really good. It was also one of those ones that got better the longer it sat.
