| History of The Sazerac |
| The official cocktail of New Orleans is traditionally a combination of cognac or rye whiskey absinthe, Peychaud’s Bitters and sugar. Though this drink has more than one origin story, and as many inventors, historians agree antebellum New Orleans is the birthplace of what some regard as America’s oldest known cocktail. |
| One story credits an old recipe belonging to the Creole apothecary Antoine Peychaud. In 1838, Peychaud began serving the drink in his shop after hours to fellow masons. It was believed that because Peychaud served the drink in an egg cup known as a “copue tier,” the word eventually morphed into “cocktail.” That belief was debunked when it was discovered that the term “cocktail” first appeared in print at least as far back as 1803. |
| Today there is an annual week-long celebration of The Sazerax at Sazerac House, the historic building on the corner of Canal and Magazine, which is now a museum and immersive experience that shares the history of the New Orleans cocktail culture. |
| Recipe for the Pumpkin Sazerac |
| Yield: 1 serving Ingredients: 2 ounces cognac (or rye whiskey) 1/2 ounce pumpkin syrup 3 dashes Peychaud’s bitters 1/4 ounce absinthe Garnish: lemon twist Instructions for the Pumpkin Sazerac Chill a rocks glass in the freezer for 15 minutes. Add the cognac, pumpkin syrup and bitters into a mixing glass with ice and stir for 30 seconds. Remove the rocks glass from the freezer and add the absinthe, swirling it around the inside, then discard the excess. Strain the stirred mixture into the prepared glass. Twist a swath of lemon peel over the glass to express the oils onto the drink, then discard. Enjoy! *Recipe courtesy of liquor.com |
