Overview of event:

New Orleans is no stranger to the cocktail, where enjoying a drink is a civic pastime for locals and visitors alike, only rivaled by eating. Though many drinks can call New Orleans home, the one that stands above the rest with the embodiment of the history and character of our city is the Sazerac, the Official Cocktail of the City of New Orleans.

This historic drink has survived war, fire, disease and quite possibly the worst of them all, Prohibition. Yet through it all, bars, taverns, speakeasies and coffee houses have continued to swirl the Herbsaint and pour the Sazerac Rye for a drink as unique as the city that gave it life.

Join us as we pay homage to the Sazerac in a complimentary seminar designed to better acquaint you with this legendary libation. Learn it’s storied history and how to make your own Sazerac, so you can spread the story to others in an effort to preserve its history as an official Sazeractivist.

Each Sazerac Cocktail Academy will include:

•      Historical overview of the drink, the brand and the company
•     The significance and breakdown of each ingredient in the Sazerac
•     Memorabilia and artifacts on display
•     Hands on experience
•     Oath of an Official Sazeractivist

All attendees will receive:

•     Sazerac leather coaster
•     Sazerac business cards with recipe for grassroots distribution encouraging visitors to insist on the “authentic” recipe
•     Sazerac Academy certificate with their name and date on it
