Went to make a sazerac last night, had no peychauds.

Herbsaint ice rinse.
1 part Aperol.
3 parts Rye whiskey.

I know I've had something very close, the internet hasn't narrowed it down.

Its closet cousin I can find would be a Boulevardier.

Rye
Campari
Sweet vermouth

Essentially a whiskey negroni?

It played nice. But was a bit potent for a weeknight drink.

I first thought this essentially a whiskey negroni, or possibly a bastardized manhattan.

Those do not seem like ingredients in any classic cocktail that I can remember.

The only two that come to mind that have aperol are a Paper Plane and a Naked and Famous, but neither of them resemble your recipe.

And Old Pal, maybe? Rye, Campari and Dry Vermouth with lemon garnish could read similarly. It’s also a variant of a Negroni, just like the Boulevardier you mentioned. A high gravity bourbon (Rare Breed is excellent for this) is better in a Boulevardier than rye, in my opinion. It’s one of my favorite cocktails. I like to use a lemon swath sometimes instead of orange. Makes a notable difference.

From Chat GPT:

The drink you're referring to is called a "Rye Boulevardier." It is a variation of the classic Boulevardier cocktail, which traditionally consists of equal parts bourbon, sweet vermouth, and Campari. In this variation, the bourbon is substituted with rye whiskey and the Campari is replaced by Aperol. The herbsaint ice rinse is an additional step that involves rinsing the glass with Herbsaint, an anise-flavored liqueur, to add an aromatic touch to the drink.
