Invented by Antoine Peychaud in the 1830s, this bitter was originally developed as a health tonic. Peychaud was a New Orleans apothecary of Creole origin who based the drink on an old recipe that his father brought from Haiti.
It is believed that the Sazerac cocktail was modeled on Peychaud’s combination. Although the exact recipe is not known, the base is made with gentian, while the dominant flavors are anise, fruity, herbaceous, and spicy.
It is often quoted as one of the lighter bitters on the market. Peychaud’s bitters is best known as a cocktail ingredient—and it is one of the essential elements in the famed Sazerac.Shipping Information...
