What is a Sazerac?

The official cocktail of New Orleans, the Sazerac was invented at the Sazerac Coffeehouse and originally involved cognac mixed with Peychaud’s bitters and served in an absinthe-swirled glass. Nowadays, the Sazerac uses rye whiskey in place of cognac and sometimes Herbsaint in place of absinthe. Alongside Hurricane cocktails, a perfectly chilled Sazerac is a staple of New Orleans’ drinking culture.
