On his deathbed in 1963, famed legendary bartender Harry Craddock became the only person in the world who got the entire story of the history of cocktails fully revealed to him.
Sazerac's Tale is an engaging and amazing story of a parrot called Sazerac, covering the extraordinary life of a hundred-year-old bird ingeniously placed in the middle of key events throughout the history of cocktails.
Beginning with his birth in 1850, Sazerac lands on a pirate ship and eventually befriends Antoine Peychaud in New Orleans. Peychaud, using secret ingredients from his apothecary, creates the world's first cocktail.
Over the next several decades, Sazerac encounters legendary celebrity bartenders Jerry Thomas and Harry Johnson. As his long lifespan continues, he strategically finds himself placed at the seminal events that create, inspire, and shape the budding art of modern-day mixology.
