The history of the Sazerac cocktail
Sazerac cocktail, according to one version, is the first cocktail in the history of bartending art.
It is definitely the first cocktail made in the USA, and since the North American states are the birthplace of mixed drinks, it can be argued that the Sazerac is the first in the world.
It is also called the “National Drink of Louisiana”. It was in this state, in the city of New Orleans, a native of France, a doctor named Antoine Pichot, who first mixed cognac and bitter bitter.
It is curious that Pichot was neither a bartender nor a frequenter of drinking establishments, and he recommended his cocktail to sick patients as a cure for a cold.
Pichot did not just mix cognac and bitter, he became the author of the famous herbal “Pichot Balm”, which was included in many modern cough medicines.
“Potion” not only helped the sick, but also liked the visitors of the drinking establishments of the city, who began to demand this drink in the bars.
The bartenders had no choice but to buy Pichot balm and mix it with cognac.
It was this cocktail that was first called not a “mixture of something with something”, but a “cocktail”.
The name of this drink is nothing more than a brand of cognac, which was included in the original recipe for the drink. Cognac “Sazerak” was very popular at that time, and most importantly: available to almost everyone.
Nowadays, the cocktail recipe has changed somewhat; absinthe and a little sugar were added to it, which makes the taste of the drink not so bitter. The brand of cognac “Sazerac” has not existed for a long time, but the name of the cocktail has remained unchanged.
