The Sazerac is one of America's oldest and most historically significant cocktails, made with bourbon (or rye), Peychaud's bitters, sugar, and a rinse of Ricard (or absinthe), garnished with a lemon peel twist in a chilled old-fashioned glass. It is an IBA Unforgettable and the official cocktail of New Orleans by act of the Louisiana legislature. Its preparation is ritualistic: the glass is rinsed with anise spirit before the whiskey mixture is strained in.
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.
