So when I was in #NewOrleans three years ago visiting my lovely daughter, I ended up at the Mahogany Jazz Hall on Chartres and spent the evening with some fantastic local jazz and knocking back Sazeracs. Now after obtaining a bottle of absinthe and some proper Peychaud's, I'm trying to recreate those drinks, if not the #jazz , at the home bar.

Jury is decidedly out. I'm subbing in bourbon for rye and I think that might be a mistake. There's a supposedly very good local rye that I'd like to try once I get the cash money for it. Tried the New York thing and added brandy, which is good but it wasn't what I had. Admittedly, trying to recreate something that well-crafted is like running out on stage in hiking boots and trying to tap-dance with Gene Kelly, but hope springs eternal and I have the strength of madness. If you spot me wobbling down the street monologuing about the relative merits of Miles Davis's mid-period catalog from Birth of the Cool to Bitches' Brew, you'll know I probably got it right.

Svedka Super Bowl Commercial Mixes Vodka With AI

Svedka vodka will air a Super Bowl commercial for the first time and will use AI to help produce the spot that will air just after halftime.

Variety
SAZERAC

rinse glass with absinthe
3 dashes Peychauds bitters
¼ oz demerara syrup
2 oz Sazerac rye

Garnish: lemon peel
Method: Use an atomizer to rinse your serving glass with absinthe. Combine the remaining ingredients in a stirring glass with ice and stir. Strain into the glass, express lemon peel, and use as garnish.

Another boozy stir for a cold winter night. This version of the legendary cocktail comes from the book Cure: New Orleans drinks and how to mix 'em, page 29. I finally found an affordable bottle of Sazerac in Germany and thought the titular cocktail was the logical test pilot. For the photo I also tested a new lighting setup. Not 100% happy with it, but you gotta start somewhere.

Cocktails I Have Known and Loved

Time to slowly add some water.

Chicken thighs, previously browned in the same pot, go in, asking with the bay leaves, thyme, cayenne and some salt & pepper.

Time to turn it down and enjoy a sazerac cocktail while it simmers.
