A Sazerac is an iconic cocktail of New Orleans in the United States, believed to be one of the earliest known cocktails. It is a heady blend of rye whiskey or Cognac, bitters, sugar, and absinthe, usually garnished with a lemon peel.
The Sazerac cocktail was first created in mid-19th Century New Orleans. It was originally made with Sazerac de Forge et Fils Cognac, from which it takes its name. As the cocktail evolved, rye whiskey often replaced Cognac, but both versions are considered classic.
