Cognac (or rye), Peychaud's bitters, sugar, lemon peel and an absinthe rinse, stirred and strained into a chilled rocks glass. The official cocktail of New Orleans and arguably the oldest American cocktail.
The Sazerac was invented around 1850 by Antoine Peychaud in his French Quarter apothecary, where he served the cognac-and-bitters drink in a double-ended egg cup (coquetier, hence cocktail). The rye-and-absinthe modern formula consolidated by 1900. Designated the official cocktail of New Orleans in 2008. Arnaud's French 75, the Sazerac Bar at the Roosevelt and Antoine's all pour the canonical version.
