Herbsaint 90 Proof Anise Liqueur — 750ml | 45% ABV

An Authentic Legend of New Orleans Mixology Herbsaint 90 Proof is a legendary anise-flavored liqueur with a deep history in American spirits. First created in 1934 as a substitute for absinthe, Herbsaint became the definitive ingredient for classic New Orleans cocktails like the Sazerac and the Frappé. Unlike the "Original" 100-proof version, the 90-proof expression offers a slightly more approachable profile while maintaining the bold, herbal integrity required for professional mixology.

Crafted with Traditional Botanicals Produced by the Sazerac Company, Herbsaint 90 is distilled using a proprietary blend of star anise and other botanicals. It is characterized by its crisp, licorice-forward profile and its ability to "louche" (turn cloudy) when chilled or mixed with water—a hallmark of high-quality anise spirits. It remains a staple for any bar prioritizing historical accuracy and classic cocktail preparation.
