For an extra chill, place your rocks glass in the freezer for 15 minutes before preparing your drink. Experiment with different rye whiskeys to find your preferred flavor profile. A higher proof rye will give the Sazerac a bolder kick. Adjust the amount of bitters to suit your personal preference. Some prefer a more pronounced bitter flavor, while others prefer a more subtle balance.
