Rye whiskey has been part of New Orleans drinking since the 1800s, and the Sazerac is often called America’s first branded cocktail. The whiskey uses a rye-led mash bill with corn and malted barley.
Use it in a classic Sazerac with a sugar cube, Peychaud’s Bitters and an absinthe rinse, or in a Manhattan or Old Fashioned. It is also good neat or with a splash of water, alongside Creole dishes or a cheeseboard.
