The Sazerac is a class-act cocktail with a storied history.
Often referred to as America’s first cocktail, the Sazerac was invented in New Orleans in the 1830s by Creole apothecary Antoine Peychaud and—according to legend— first served in an eggcup. Named after Peychaud’s preferred type of brandy (Sazerac-de-Forge et fils), it’s a cocktail that has stood the test of time—and New Orleans is one of the best places to enjoy this iconic American cocktail. Here are the bars which should be on the radar of Sazerac fans everywhere. Cheers!
