The Sazerac, closely related to the Old Fashioned, is a cocktail which has stood the test of time for nearly two hundred years. Crowned the official cocktail of New Orleans in 2008, this longstanding whiskey cocktail is not for the faint-hearted.
Traditionally made with Absinthe, Rye Whiskey and Cognac, this cocktail is quite a booze-heavy customer. We’ve worked hard on our flavour pockets to make them blend in perfectly with the strong flavours in the classic Sazerac.
If you want a new and exciting way to add a flourish to your cocktail, look no further than our Equinox Sazerac.
