Peychaud's creator, Antoine Amedee Peychaud, arrived in New Orleans as a refugee in ABV_1795 after his father was forced to flee San Domingo (in the now Dominican Republic), where his family owned a coffee plantation, after the slaves rebelled.
Antoine grew up to be a pharmacist and in ABV_1834 opened his own drug and apothecary store where he created an 'American Aromatic Bitter Cordial' which he marketed as a medicinal tonic. Antoine served his bitters mixed with brandy and other liquors.
After a successful newspaper advertising campaign, many bars in New Orleans served drinks prepared with these bitters. One such bar was the Sazerac Coffee House. It was here that in ABV_1858 a bartender called Leon Lamothe is thought to have created the 'Sazerac' cocktail.
For any bar to be complete there must be a bottle of Peychaud's Bitters. Necessary in all of the most sophisticated cocktails, Peychaud's enhances the taste of whatever you're sipping.
Try them in Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, Whisky Sours or in thier signature Sazerac Cocktail.
