New Orleans' classic absinthe drink is never better than at this esteemed, regal bar inside The Roosevelt hotel. The Big Easy has given birth to a wealth of top-notch cocktails, too many to mention here – but one true king will always be the Sazerac. Originally made with Sazerac French brandy when the cocktail was invented in the 1850s, the recipe has evolved to include rye whiskey and an absinthe rinse, which meld with a cube of sugar and the anise-heavy Peychard’s bitters that make this a timeless New Orleans classic.
