Description

The name 'Sazerac' belongs to one of the oldest American cocktails (it was invented in New Orleans before the Civil War) and is derived from the brandy of the same name. Later, rye whiskey was used in the cocktail, and now this whiskey is simply called Sazerac. In this version of the Sazerac, both brandy and whiskey are used, although it is bourbon rather than rye.
