Peychaud’s Bitters & Absinthia Absinthe: The Spirit of New Orleans in a Glass
The original Sazerac combined French cognac, Peychaud’s Bitters, sugar, and a rinse of absinthe — creating a drink that was elegant, slightly sweet, and deeply aromatic. As time went on, rye whiskey replaced cognac due to changes in supply, and absinthe was eventually swapped out after the U.S. ban in 1912.
Today, with absinthe back on the scene (thankfully!), cocktail lovers can recreate the Sazerac in its original, soulful form — complete with a generous wash of Absinthia Absinthe and a few dashes of Peychaud’s Bitters.
