0 The Sazerac Cocktail

The SAZERAC is the first mixed drink that was given a name. Therefore this historical drink takes pride of place as our BOHEMIAN DRINK No. 0 in our range.

Based on a high-proof spirit refined with a little sugar, iced water and a bitters, the recipe of the SAZERAC is very much reminiscent of the good old OLD FASHIONED. Only a few important details differentiate the two: the long-aged cognac, the choice of bitters and zest and, not forgetting, the SAZERAC’s hallmark: its absinthe note. It is precisely this flavour that makes the SAZERAC the most popular absinthe cocktail in the world.

THE DRINK THAT LEGENDS ARE MADE OF

New Orleans is the drink’s birthplace. This is where a Creole apothecary served the drink in its earliest form, originally only setting out to increase the popularity of his bitters, which he mixed with cognac and sugar. Different ways of drinking this cocktail have evolved over time, but that’s something we’re also familiar with from other classic cocktails.

After the long aging process of our XO cognac, during which it is patiently matured in sherry barrels in France, we finally have the pleasure of presenting you our BOHEMIAN DRINK No. 0, bottled with the respect it deserves.

As usual, just “on the rocks” in a tumbler, with a lemon twist, is our SAZERAC COCKTAIL a treat!
