MOREThe Sazerac is a cocktail that was invented in New Orleans in the early 19th century. It is made with Cognac or rye whiskey ,absinthe bitters and sugar. The original recipe called for Peychaud\'s bitters which are made in New Orleans.
The Sazerac is the official cocktail of the city of New Orleans and it is also one of the oldest cocktails in the world. It is believed to have been invented sometime between 1838 and 1841 by Antoine Peychaud a Creole apothecary who owned a pharmacy on Royal Street in New Orleans. Peychaud\'s bitters were originally used as a medicinal tonic but they quickly became popular as an ingredient in cocktails.

Mint-Chip Backdraft Recipe
Pour each ingredient into a shot glass in above order. Allow to settle a bit; the cream liqueur will rise slightly in the glass. Shoot when ready.
Chocolate Cream Liqueur
A cream liqueur is a liqueur that includes dairy cream among other ingredients, and is not to be confused with crème liqueur or crème de . Most cream liqueurs are typically 15% to 18% Alcohol by Volume. The beauty of cream liqueur is crafting an emulsion of cream and alcohol which are not naturally miscible and bring out the flavours of both and retain stability for a long period.
The major cream liqueurs are Irish Cream, Amarula, Cruzan Rum, Dooley’s, Heather Cream, Voodoo Cream Liqueur, Eembe, RumChata and Rum Cream Liqueur.Peppermint Schnapps
Peppermint Schnapps is a clear spirit that tastes like liquid candy cane with astringent, mouth wash like after taste. It is created by adding peppermint flavour to a clear grain spirit and is usually 15% Alcohol by Volume.
In the US it is popular around the holidays, as shots or in creamy sweet cocktails. Peppermint Schnapps is produced by many brands and in different qualities. A regular brand is DeKupyer, while Rumple Minze or Dr. McGillicuddy’s Mint Schnapps are better quality versions of the same.
For those who want a better experience than this mint spirit that has an astringent feel, Creme de Menthe is a smoother alternative.Bacardi 151 Rum
Bacardi 151 is a discontinued brand of highly alcoholic Rum made by Bacardi Limited of Bermuda. It is has alcohol concentration level of 151 US Proof or has 75.5% alcohol by volume. Way higher than a regular 35% - 40% ABV of a standard Rum. Bacardi discontinued the 151 in 2016.
Because of it's high alcohol concentration a 151 Proof Rum is highly inflammable and is thus used in making stunning flaming shots. Bacardi probably discontinued the Bacardi 151 after a few lawsuits, but there are other brands of 151 Proof or overproof Rum available in the market

However, we have embarked on a journey of manually updating the relative strength of cocktails, their flavour profile and in the future aim at providing approximate calories per drink too.
Blue Tick Project:We aim at manually validating and verifying each cocktail in their current context and mark them as valid, where, a blue tick would mean that the recipe has been verified and is 100% accurate while an orange tick would mean the recipe has low confidence.
Where as a grey tick would mean that the recipe has not yet been manually validated or verified recently.
