OJEN COCKTAIL

3 dashes Peychauds bitters
¼ oz (optional) orgeat
2 oz Ojen anise liqueur

Garnish: Peychauds float
Method: Fill a chilled double old fashioned glass halfway with crushed ice, add the anise liqueur, optional orgeat, the initial dashes of Peychauds, and swizzle. Add more crushed ice and swizzle again. Finally, top with additional crushed ice until it is higher than the glass, and float the Peychauds bitters on top.

This one was inspired by @SonicAlligator@gram.social who recently posted a top-down photo of a negroni. The spec actually calls for crushed ice, but the large rock plus Peychauds float is still a really pretty effect IMO. It definitely needs crushed ice and a good swizzle to taste like the spec intends though. The spec comes from the book Cure: New Orleans drinks and how to mix 'em, page 51.

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.
