Nothing in the long history of the Sazerac points to an affinity with hard cider, but flavor-wise, it makes great sense. The true apple flavor of hard cider is a natural partner for a warming spirit like rye and even plays well with the anise and botanicals in absinthe, which can be a bit of an oddball to mix.
