Sazerac - The Official New Orleans Cocktail
This cocktail is an important one to have in your repertoire. For a long time it was considered the first cocktail. It's not, but it's a great one. The recipe has evolved over time. It used to be made with Brandy and without Absinthe. Until recently, when Absinthe was made legal again in the states, it was made with Herbsaint. Because of it's turbulent history, there are a lot of variant recipes, but the one we use here is great. It's the one to master and have ready in your back pocket.
This one is made with the 100-proof, bottled in bond, Rittenhouse Rye, Peychaud's Bitters (accept no substitutes), a white sugar cube (use a brown sugar cube if you can) and Absinthe Verte by St. George Spirits, which is a personal favorite and comes in the smaller 300ml bottle. It's usually a good idea to get a small bottle of absinthe because unless you drink it straight or exclusively make cocktails that call for absinthe, you'll use very little of it in most cocktails, so even the small bottle will last you for a long time.
It's best to make this drink with an atomizer. You can get one on Amazon or bar equipment specialty stores or at Sephora in the mall. Just make sure not to repurpose an old atomizer that once contained perfume or something. They are cheap and you kind find them in a variety of places. No need to ruin your absinthe with foreign contaminants, not to mention, you do not want to be swilling perfume unless you're Joaquin Phoenix from The Master.
So, get ready to drown out your Basin Street Blues with a cocktail that's great for every occasion.

SAZERAC
El cóctel oficial de Nueva Orleans, el orgullo de la ciudad del jazz y su herencia francesa.
Mezcla de tradiciones, preparar un Sazerac supone buscar la esencia y los orígenes del cóctel en sí mismo (destilados, azúcar, agua y bitters) en un entorno en el que parece no pasar el tiempo (el viejo Cognac de los ancestros , el nuevo whiskey de centeno, la mítica absenta, los remedios del farmacéutico Amadée Peychaud.
Y, por encima de todo eso, rituales y respeto.
Un trago como solían ser.
SAZERAC
The official cocktail of New Orleans, pride of the jazz city and its french legacy.
A blend of traditions, concocting a Sazerac means searching after the essence and the origins of the cocktail itself (spirits, sugar, water and bitters) within an environment that lasts over time (the old Cognac of the ancestors, the new rye whiskey, the myth of absynth, the prescriptions of pharmacist Amadée Peychaud)
And, beyond it all, rituals and respect.
A drink like it used to be.

THE ROOSEVELT HOTEL CHRISTMAS LOBBY DISPLAY | NEW ORLEANS
The lobby display features 44 Birch trees, more than 22,000 twinkling lights, and scores of festively dressed Christmas trees. No reservations necessary.
The Roosevelt hotel is a 504-room hotel that is managed by Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts. The hotel was originally built by Louis Grunewald, a German immigrant, and opened in 1893 as The Hotel Grunewald.
In 2007, Sam Friedman, a son of the late Louisiana State Senator Sylvan Friedman of Natchitoches Parish,Louisiana, announced the purchase of the Fairmont Hotel by First Class Hotels for $17 million from the owners, Roosevelt Ventures, LLC. Also announced was the plan to spend $100 million to convert the hotel to one of Hilton's premium hotels in their Waldorf Astoria Collection chain.
The hotel was renovated to look like the 30s and 40s
Period when it was thriving just after the Huey Long era.
The Roosevelt rolled out the red carpet for a historic grand-opening gala weekend October 23, 2009 featuring world-famous New Orleans entertainers and the introduction of Chef John Besh’s restaurant Domenica and the acclaimed Guerlain Spa, benefiting area non-profits.
The current hotel holds 504 guest rooms of which 125 are suites. The total meeting space is over 68,000 square feet with multiple rooms across three floors of the hotel.
It’s pretty neat that the number of rooms is the same as the area code. 504.
My YouTube friend Jason ( of the 504 road trips channel) did a comprehensive review of the hotel during his recent August 2017 stay.

Sazerac
This article is about the cocktail; for the company, see Sazerac Company.
The Sazerac is a local New Orleans variation of a Cognac or whiskey cocktail, named for the Sazerac de Forge et Fils brand of Cognac brandy that served as its original main ingredient. The drink is most traditionally a combination of cognac or rye, absinthe, Peychaud's Bitters, and sugar, although bourbon whiskey and/or Herbsaint are sometimes substituted. Some claim it is the oldest known American cocktail, with origins in pre–Civil War New Orleans, although drink historian David Wondrich is among those who dispute this, and American instances of published usage of the word cocktail to describe a mixture of spirits, bitters, and sugar can be traced to the dawn of the 19th century.

Sazerac most popular absinthe drink
DRINK ABSINTHE SAZERAC
On a steamy New Orleans street called Rue Royal, in the early 19th century, a descendant of escaped slaves assembled a surprising mix of ingredients to make a cocktail that would outlast fads, floods, and whatever else his town could dish out. Antoine Peychaud's original elixir was a combination of Cognac, from Sazerac de Forge et Fils in France, and bitters made by Peychaud himself.
Today the cocktail has evolved into a sublime mixture of rye whiskey, absinthe , bitters, lemon peel, and a hint of sugar, served very cold.
Thanks to the much-publicized lift on the absinthe ban in this country—and the Louisiana state legislature's recent passage of a law making the Sazerac the official cocktail of New Orleans.

New Orleans Louisiana | VLOG 59 |
We have always sucked at goodbyes, and leaving Vancouver on Sunday was no different. After calling Van City home for 7 weeks it was a tough farewell, but luckily we took two with us, Alex & Chris on an adventure to New Orleans - and what a f*cking week that was!!
Frenchmen St, Po Boys, too much fried chicken, Sazeracs at the Roosevelt Hotel, Hurricanes at Pat O'Briens, literally crawfish by the pound, heading out to the Bayou's to hunt some alligators and we think we lost 3 days on Bourbon St - but today is Super Tourist Thursday where we have a chance to tick off some of the tours, and our last day here with the boys before another tearful farewell.
To Diego and Gloria, it was a cheap flight... we will be back to Houston and make sure we do it right - dont hate us too much!

New Orleans, Louisiana - Bourbon Street (2020)
Bourbon Street (French: Rue Bourbon, Spanish: Calle de Borbón) is a historic street in the heart of the French Quarter of New Orleans. Extending thirteen blocks from Canal Street to Esplanade Avenue, Bourbon Street is famous for its many bars and strip clubs.
With 17.74 million visitors in 2017 alone, New Orleans depends on Bourbon Street as a main tourist attraction. Tourist numbers have been growing yearly after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and the city has successfully rebuilt its tourist base. For millions of visitors each year, Bourbon Street provides a rich insight into New Orleans' past.
The French Quarter, also known as the Vieux Carré, is the oldest neighborhood in the city of New Orleans. After New Orleans (La Nouvelle-Orléans in French) was founded in 1718 by Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, the city developed around the Vieux Carré (Old Square in English), a central square. The district is more commonly called the French Quarter today, or simply The Quarter, related to changes in the city with American immigration after the Louisiana Purchase. Most of the extant historic buildings were constructed either in the late 18th century, during the city's period of Spanish rule, or were built during the first half of the 19th century, after U.S. annexation and statehood.
The district as a whole has been designated as a National Historic Landmark, with numerous contributing buildings that are separately deemed significant. It is a prime tourist destination in the city, as well as attracting local residents. Because of its distance from areas where the levee was breached during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 as well as the strength and height of the nearest Mississippi River Levees in contrast to other levees along the canals and lakefront, it suffered relatively light damage from floodwater as compared to other areas of the city and the greater region.
New Orleans is a consolidated city-parish located along the Mississippi River in the southeastern region of the U.S. state of Louisiana. With an estimated population of 391,006 in 2018, it is the most populous city in Louisiana. Serving as a major port, New Orleans is considered an economic and commercial hub for the broader Gulf Coast region of the United States.
New Orleans is world-renowned for its distinct music, Creole cuisine, unique dialect, and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras. The historic heart of the city is the French Quarter, known for its French and Spanish Creole architecture and vibrant nightlife along Bourbon Street. The city has been described as the most unique in the United States, owing in large part to its cross-cultural and multilingual heritage. Founded in 1718 by French colonists, New Orleans was once the territorial capital of French Louisiana before being traded to the United States in the Louisiana Purchase of 1803. New Orleans in 1840 was the third-most populous city in the United States, and it was the largest city in the American South from the Antebellum era until after World War II. The city's location and flat elevation have historically made it very vulnerable to flooding. State and federal authorities have installed a complex system of levees and drainage pumps in an effort to protect the city.
New Orleans was severely affected by Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005, which resulted in flooding more than 80% of the city, thousands of deaths, and so much displacement because of damaged communities and lost housing as to cause a population decline of over 50%. Since Katrina, major redevelopment efforts have led to a rebound in the city's population. Concerns about gentrification, new residents buying property in formerly closely knit communities, and displacement of longtime residents have been expressed.
