This place gave a very sad excuse for a Sazerac. A Sazerac is composed of rye whiskey or cognac, bitters, and sugar or simple syrup with a lemon or orange peel garnish. Sometimes the oil in the peel is squeezed out to add additional aroma. I've even seen some bars light the oil on fire for a fun effect. The ice is always strained out.
The bartender here used some rail quality Canadian whisky. He used angostura bitters. He served it with ice. There was no sugar and no garnish. He basically gave me a whisky on the rocks with a dash of bitters in a glass with an absinthe wash. As a result the drink tasted mostly like a Canadian whisky, smoky and rough. So this was hardly a Sazerac. By failing to deliver something even close to the drink I wanted, this place earns a rare 1/5 stars from me.
