Sazerac - A Mardi Gras Cocktail

It's Mardi Gras time, so let's make the official cocktail of New Orleans, the Sazerac. A close cousin of the Old Fashioned, this Rye Whiskey cocktail uses a bitters that originates in New Orleans, Peychaud's Bitter. A spritz of Absinthe and a little sugar, and you've got a cocktail with a long history and many tall tales surrounding it. #cocktails #cocktailrecipes #craftcocktails #mixeddrinks #cocktail #classiccocktails #mardigras #sazerac #neworleans 00:00 - Intro 00:26 - Sazerac History 02:07 - Sazerac Recipe
