History
A bourbon-based Sazerac that has been the house cocktail at Galatoire's 33 Bar & Steak on Bourbon Street in New Orleans for "as long as anyone can remember", perhaps since Jean Galatoire opened his French cuisine-inspired restaurant in 1905.
Review
Bourbon, made easy by a little sugar and dilution with extra interest courtesy of a subtle touch of freshening anise.
