The Sazerac is a family of cocktails that combine rye whiskey, sugar cube soaked in bitters (or simple syrup), water and cognac. This recipe, however, combines equal parts of cognac and rye for just the right depth and strength.
The Sazerac is an old-fashioned, Southern cocktail that originates from New Orleans and its name pays homage to the original main ingredient - cognac or whiskey.
