El Sazerac es el tesoro de Nueva Orleans, conocido como uno de los cócteles más antiguos del mundo. Whisky de centeno, bitters Peychaud's, absenta y azúcar se combinan para crear un sabor complejo y lleno de especias, terminado con una piel de limón. Está designado como el cóctel oficial de Nueva Orleans.
History & Origins
The Sazerac traces its roots to New Orleans in the 1850s, where pharmacist Antoine Amédée Peychaud served a brandy-based mixture in a coquetier (egg cup), giving rise to the word 'cocktail' according to one popular theory. The drink evolved to use rye whiskey after phylloxera decimated European cognac production, and absinthe was later replaced by Herbsaint or Pernod during Prohibition. The IBA recognizes it among its Unforgettables, and New Orleans declared it the city's official cocktail in 2008.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Anise and absinthe from the glass rinse dominate the nose alongside bourbon's vanilla and caramel and the floral, cherry-like quality of Peychaud's bitters. Palate: Bold and spirit-forward, with bourbon sweetness and spice balanced by Peychaud's unique bittersweet character; the anise rinse provides a persistent aromatic backdrop. Finish: Long, dry, and complex with lingering anise, spice, and lemon oil.
Pro Tip
Chill the serving glass in the freezer while you prepare the drink, and discard all but a thin film of the absinthe rinse for the correct balance of anise aroma.
