What kind of absinthe do y’all put in your sazerac?
That and the required Peychaud’s bitters makes it an extremely different drink from the Old Fashioned.

One of them is a variant on the other. But I don’t know which came first. The base is the same. Whiskey, simple syrup, bitters. Sazerac has an absinthe rinse (I always use herbsaint because it’s available and cheap) and lemon peel. Old Fashioned has an orange peel and a different bitters profile.
It’s the same drink.

St. Georges. They sell a 200mL bottle which is great for rinses.

Lucid, and here’s why:
Its creator is master distiller Ted Breaux. Ted was born in New Orleans. He was formally educated at LSU, ULL, and Tulane. His knowledge of chemistry learned from these fine institutions helped him establish proper thujone levels for absinthe to be safely marketed.
He is single handedly responsible for convincing legislators that there was no basis for absinthe to be illegal in the US. His Lucid brand was the first genuine absinthe made with Grande Wormwood to be legally sold in the US after a 100 year ban using historically accurate techniques. The green color is purely from the added botanicals and not from any added color that other absinthes rely on.
If you’re going to enjoy the official state cocktail of Louisiana and honor its historic relevance and elegance, then Lucid is the only way to go.
Also try his Perique liqueur distilled from tobacco.

I'm cheap and just use herbsaint...after all you're just rinsing the glass.
And to somewhat answer this pretty interesting thread, I can honestly say I somewhat measure a man based on how they take and/or make an old fashioned. Seeing someone muddle a fruit cocktail at the bottle of a glass will make me judge you pretty quick

I have a small bottle of St George at home for Sazeracs
