The Sazerac is a cocktail thought to have been created in New Orleans in the 1850s, using cognac and a small amount of Peychaud Bitters. Originally, the tumbler or rocks glass was coated with 1 teaspoonful of Absinthe before the cognac was poured in; however, Herbsaint d'Anis or Pernod is now more commonly used.
Today, ready-mixed Sazerac is available, which contains a mix of bourbon and brandy.
