About this bottle
Herbsaint is the New Orleans anise liqueur created by the Legendre family as a Prohibition-era substitute for absinthe, now produced by the Sazerac Company at 90 proof. It's built from anise and a blend of herbal botanicals rather than wormwood, giving it a licorice-forward nose with herbal, slightly sweet undertones. The palate is bold and warming for its category — anise leads, with herbal complexity underneath and a long, clean licorice finish. It's best known as the traditional New Orleans stand-in for absinthe or pastis in classic cocktails, most famously rinsed into a Sazerac.
How to drink Herbsaint
Use it the way New Orleans bartenders do: a quick rinse in a chilled glass for a Sazerac, or mixed into a Herbsaint Frappé over crushed ice with a splash of water for a lighter, anise-forward sipper.
