During the year 1795, when settlers were obliged to escape from Santo Domingo, a creole man, Antoine Am Peychaud, like many others found refuge in New Orleans, Louisiana. Here he started again his family business, opening a drugstore, and created a healing elixir based on gentian and other herbs. Besides being used for malaria and a wide variety of illness, it was soon clear that, mixed with brandy and absinthe, it gives the drink a ravishing flavor. So the drink Sazerac was born, official New Orleans cocktail in 2008!
Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
