Sazerac

Sazerac is a gender-neutral name inspired by the French cognac brand, Sazerac de Forge et Fils. An obscure French last name, Sazerac has taken on a new identity as the official cocktail of New Orleans since its initial association with the cognac brand. While sazerac cocktails don't typically use cognac anymore, the name stuck and now brings to mind the citrus, aromatic, liquorice taste of this fancy drink, created by the Creole apothecary, Antoine Peychaud. While Sazerac's precise meaning and origin are tricky to trace, its link to the refined cocktail and unmistakably French vibe make it a worthy name choice full of character.
