Sazerac recipe: Angostura bitters or no?

For Sazeracs, I go Peychaud & Angostura.

For OF’s, it’s Angostura & Regan’s orange bitters here

I only use Peychauds in my Sazeracs. Similar to FT, I'll add a dash or two of Regan's orange bitters if I turn around to find my fruit basket empty.

Sazerac marcellos

Pour 1/2 oz of pernod absinthe and some club soda and ice in a glass and let it sit.

The drink( separate glass)
3/4 oz simple syrup
2 1/2 oz rye whiskey
6-7 dashes Angostura and 6-7 dashes of peycheauds
Stir.

Pour out contents of first glass and then add the second cup into the first one and top with a lemon twist


That’s usually how I do mine but I have seen it with and without the Angostura.

So I had a Sazerac at Commanders and it was disgusting. Was it me or commanders? I mean, maybe Im not sophisticated enough for a Sazerac

Some people put sprite in their mint juleps. There are wrong answers

Incorrect. If a person is making a drink for themselves to drink and they think it tastes best that way, then it's correct. Everyone's tastes are different. In Mexico, tequila is drank with Coke like it's Jack Daniels. People get too bent out of shape over correct. I think whiskey is incorrect with mint. After that, who cares if they put sprite in it. It's already gross.

My point, that I didn't elaborate on, is that in the United States, tequila and coke sounds completely abnormal. Sounds like a drink someone would get judged for ordering in Baton Rouge, yet is the most normal way to drink tequila in the country it's made. I was just saying that just because something sounds weird, doesn't make it weird.
