Sazerac Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey
- 18 Year Old $99.99 90 proof
This rye whiskey is the perfect choice to make the famous Sazerac – America’s first cocktail. Antoine Peychaud, a Creole immigrant, operated a pharmacy on the French Quarter's Royal Street in 1838. He was a natural mixologist; he would mix brandy, absinthe and a dash of his bitters made from a secret family recipe for his friends who would gather for late-night revelry at the pharmacy. The toddies were made using a double-ended egg cup as a measuring cup or jigger, then known as a "coquetier" (pronounced "ko-k-tay"), from which the word "cocktail" was derived. The cocktail is most strongly associated with the wildly popular Sazerac Coffee House. By 1850, the Sazerac Cocktail, made with Sazerac French brandy and Peychaud's Bitters, was immensely popular and became the first "branded" cocktail. In 1873, the recipe for the Sazerac Cocktail was altered to replace the French brandy with American Rye whiskey. In 2000, the Official Sazerac Cocktail recipe was modified to use Sazerac Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey.

The Official Sazerac Cocktail:
- 1 cube sugar
- 1½ ounces (35ml) Sazerac Rye Whiskey
- ¼ ounce Pastis or Absinthe
- 3 dashes Bitters
- Lemon peel
- Pack an Old-Fashioned glass with ice
- In a second Old-Fashioned glass place the sugar cube and add the bitters to it, then crush the sugar cube
- Add the Sazerac Rye Whiskey to the glass containing the bitters and sugar
- Empty the ice from the first glass and coat the glass with the Pastis or Absinthe, then discard the remaining
- Empty the whiskey/bitters/sugar mixture from the second glass into the first glass and garnish with lemon peel
