About
How to make the best classic Sazerac cocktail. Celebrate New Orleans culture with this cocktail and drink an awesome drink tonight! The American classic uses rye whiskey, absinthe, Peychaud's bitters, and a bit of love to bring you down to Louisiana. This drink is somewhat close to an Old Fashioned, but has some very distinct differences that separates it from that other American cocktail classic. And while both are tasty, the Sazerac has a distinct origin in the American bayou with French origins and tastes.
