Elevated Mixers Sazerac
Elevated Mixers Sazerac
The Sazerac is an internationally renowned classic cocktail with its origins dating back to the mid-1800s in New Orleans. The cocktail was originally made with cognac, however, over the years rye whiskey has become the more popular spirit of choice. At Elevated Mixers, we like to honor the past and represent the present, which is why we like to use both.
