Seelbach Cocktail
The Seelbach is a sophisticated, effervescent classic cocktail that dates back to the early 1900s at the Seelbach Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. Combining the richness of bourbon with the complexity of orange liqueur and bitters, it is elegantly topped with champagne for a luxurious finish.
