Origen

The Sazerac is one of the oldest known American cocktails, originating in New Orleans in the mid-1800s. Originally made with cognac and named after the Sazerac-de-Forge et fils brand of cognac that was its original main ingredient, the drink was later made with rye whiskey due to phylloxera outbreaks in Europe that devastated the grape crops used to make cognac. The modern Sazerac consists of rye whiskey, a sugar cube, Peychaud's bitters, a splash of absinthe or an absinthe substitute, and a lemon peel
