What is the oldest American cocktail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering Hmm, what is the oldest American Cocktail?<\/em> (as I did) well here’s a fun bit of trivia for you: The Sazerac cocktail<\/strong> is in fact known as the first cocktail recipe to be recorded in America. It was invented in the late 1800s by Aaron Bird of New Orleans – and is even the official state drink of Louisiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to being an intricate part of American history<\/a>, Sazerac cocktails have continued to be popular today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re terrifically boozy, slightly bitter, and perfect for sipping on fall evenings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does a Sazerac cocktail taste like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The unique flavors of Sazerac cocktails are certainly what have kept it a drink of choice for decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They’re made with anise liquor, which has a taste similar to licorice. This is paired with fruity and tart Peychaud’s bitters, plus the deep peppery flavors of rye whiskey. A bit of granulated sugar is also added for a hint of sweetness to balance the different elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s the difference between an old fashioned and a Sazerac?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Both Old Fashioned<\/a> and Sazerac cocktail recipes include bitters and a sugar cube. However, an Old Fashioned is made with bourbon and has a slightly sweeter taste than a Sazerac, which is made with rye whisky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of bitters… Old Fashioned cocktails typically use Angosturra bitters, while Sazeracs have<\/em> to be made with Peychaud’s bitters to be authentic. These were the bitters used in the original Sazerac recipe when developed in New Orleans, named after the apothecary from which they were first sourced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
