Bittermilk No.4 New Orleans Style Old Fashioned Rouge Mix, 8.5 oz

Not quite an official Sazerac but pretty close, and still darn good. I still rinse my glass with absinthe to get closer to official. Buttermilk consistently puts out quality mixers, with interesting flavors.

Nice quality simple syrup with bitters to make a fast delicious Old Fashioned. I use a half ounce with 2 ounces of bourbon and throw in an orange slice with a muddled cherry over a large ice ball and enjoy. Definitely recommend.

Love this flavor enhancement with rye or bourbon and a slice of orange or lemon peel.

Several reviews of this "New Orleans Style" mix describe it as a sazerac. I've had a lot of sazeracs from a lot of bars over the years, and this mix isn't a sazerac. It doesn't have anywhere near the anise flavor that should accompany that drink. On the other hand, it does have a unique flavor profile all of it's own, with just a tweak of anise that comes through the blend. It's really quite good, and I have no problem recommending it as a variation on an old fashioned.

Bittermilk No.4 New Orleans Style Old Fashioned Rouge is the secret to an effortlessly refined cocktail experience. The blend of rich whiskey barrel aging, hints of licorice, and warming spices delivers a sophisticated complexity that feels straight out of a high-end cocktail bar. This mixer stands out with its bold flavors and balanced sweetness. A single pour over ice with bourbon or rye transforms your drink into a masterpiece. Adjusting the intensity is simple—dilute for a lighter taste or add more for a punch of flavor. Perfect for hosting or unwinding after a long day, it's a staple in my bar setup. Highly recommended!
