Sazerac Rye Whiskey
If there's one rye that embodies the history of New Orleans it's Sazerac Rye Whiskey. The spirit dates back centuries, and this particular expression was named after the Sazerac Coffee House on Royal Street where visitors drank cocktails made with rye and Peychaud's Bitters. That drink was later named the "Sazerac" and was America's first official cocktail.
