The Sazerac is a classic New Orleans cocktail that dates back to the late 1800s. It’s a simple blend of rye whiskey, absinthe, sugar, and a few dashes of Peychaud’s Bitters. The drink is traditionally served in a chilled rocks glass with a lemon peel garnish. The Sazerac is believed to have been created by Antoine Amedie Peychaud, a Creole apothecary who lived in New Orleans in the early 19th century. He created a special type of bitters that he called “Peychaud’s Bitters” and used it in a variety of drinks. The Sazerac was one of them. The Sazerac has a long and storied history. It was one of the first cocktails to be served in America and it has been served in The Sazerac Bar at the historic Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans since the late 19th century. The flavor of the Sazerac is quite unique. It has a sweet, herbal flavor from the absinthe and the sugar, balanced by the spicy notes from the rye whiskey and the herbal notes from the bitters. The drink is smooth and easy to drink, making it a classic favorite. The Sazerac is one of the most iconic cocktails in the world, and it is a great way to experience a bit of New Orleans’ rich history. Whether you’re enjoying it in The Sazerac Bar or in your own home, you can be sure that you’re indulging in a timeless classic.
