Peychaud's Bitters 5oz

Peychauds brings to mind licorice, saffron, citrus, peel, and caramel. Its lighter and fruitier and less bitter than the profile of other aromatic bitters. The Sazerac, the drink most associated with Peychauds bitters, was likewise born in New Orleans and was an homage to Antoines brandy toddy. It became the signature cocktail at the Sazerac Coffee House, a development that helped to cement its historic name. Its initial build called for French brandy, Peychauds bitters, sugar, absinthe, and water. Later iterations of the recipe swap rye whiskey for the brandy, making the drink an even more thoroughly American creation.
