The Sazerac House #1

We took a self-guided tour of this gorgeous "house," learning about and tasting various cocktails made specially for each visitor along the way. We couldn't have been more delighted to happen upon this museum of sorts. This historic building stands at the corner of Canal and Magazine, steps away from the original 1850s Sazerac Coffeehouse. Do yourself a favor and stop in when you visit New Orleans...tours are free and it was quite a treat!

 

* The Sazerac cocktail gained fame in New Orleans in the 1850s and is served all around the world to this day. Now, it has its grandest home yet: The Sazerac House. The first Sazerac House opened and served what many consider to be the first Sazerac Cocktail. Soon enough, locals and travelers alike were flocking to the Sazerac House to get their hands on this unique blend of Old World liquor and New World flavor.

 

This is your place to see how the Sazerac is part of the customs, traditions and culture of New Orleans. Discover the methods used in distilling Sazerac Rye, learn how we handcraft world famous Peychaud's Bitters and join us for special experiences steeped in the unique character of the city that inspires it all.
