New Orleans is no stranger to the cocktail, where enjoying a drink is a civic pastime for locals and visitors alike. Though many drinks can call New Orleans home, the one that stands above the rest, embodying the history and character of our city is the Sazerac, the Official Cocktail of the City of New Orleans.
Join us this December at the historic Arnaud’s Restaurant for your chance to become an official Sazeractivist at two special holiday Sazerac Academies. Enjoy a champagne toast and a menu specially prepared for the holidays as you soak in the Sazerac’s storied history and all the info you need to make your own. It’s the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season with friends, family and a whole lot of flavor.

Each Sazerac Cocktail Academy will include:

  • Historical overview of the drink, the brand and the company
  • The significance and breakdown of each ingredient in the Sazerac
  • Memorabilia and artifacts on display
  • Hands on experience to make of a Sazerac yourself and a holiday version of the Sazerac too
  • Oath of an Official Sazeractivist
