The Sazerac Cocktail - One of the First Cocktails? | Bar Talk & Cocktails
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Today we're going back. Back to the the days when cocktails were in their infancy. We all know that a cocktail, by today’s definition, is an alcoholic drink made with one or more spirits mixed with other ingredients. But, have you ever wondered where the name “cocktail” came from? AND what is considered the first cocktail? Is it the Sazerac - The Cocktail of New Orleans?

The Sazerac had absinthe as early as 1841, published in the New Orleans Daily Picayune. Love a good Sazerac. Loved your presentation.
You always get history along with the drink recipe ! Doesn't get any better ! Thank You ...

Would like to try a Sazerac with rye whiskey and apple brandy.
Split base! I used to enjoy just Rye but I’ve recently been turned onto 50/50 rye and cognac

Gotta agree, Bruce. Split base with an absinthe inclusion rather than a rinse is the way to go.
Split base Bruce!
I knew there was a very specific drink I wanted to make after I got my bottle of rye, it's probably not going to be the same since peychaud's bitters aren't really available where I am, but homemade bitters will suffice also, the cocktail story which I believe is the "ginger in a horses butthole to have them cock their tails". it's got the same vibe as "having a pick me up"

Nice work, Bruce! It is such a great drink! I make mine with Rye, as the first ones I tasted, which were in NOLA, were made that way and that's how it should taste in my mind and memory. I use Sagamore Double Oak. I also add a dash of Angostura, use Demerara syrup, and spray the Absinthe only 4 times. By the way, there is a drink called the Calvadoserac, which I am sure you'd enjoy! As you suggested, it subs Calvados for the Rye. "I'm good, I'm good, I'm seasoned!"

Nice video as ever Bruce, if you washed the glass with Absinthe & then kept in the freezer while preparing your drink would that work?
@BarTalkCocktails
Жыл бұрын
I don't see why not. The real advantage would be if you're prepping ahead of time for a few Sazeracs. It won't freeze up due to the high ABV of absinthe - anywhere between 45-74%, or 90-148 proof, but it will certainly chill this cocktail up, and that's what you want. Everything icy cold... You could even go as far as chilling your mixing glass ahead of time. Cheers!
Can you please share what your favorite citrus peeler is? All the standard ones I've tried gets too much of the bitter pith along with it. Thank you!
