And what better place to celebrate the cocktail than New Orleans? According to legend, New Orleans is the birthplace of the first cocktail - the Sazerac. Still popular in the city today, the Sazerac was supposedly first mixed by a pharmacist named Antoine Amadee Peychaud in the early 19th century. If true, there’s no better city for a cocktail fan than The Big Easy.
