Product Description

Antoine Peychaud was an apothecary in 1830's New Orleans and began his mixing career after hours in his pharmacy. It was at that time that Peychaud mixed up his secret-recipe bitters with brandy and absinthe and created the first Sazerac, a cocktail that defined and influenced future cocktails. Peychaud's bitters are used today in a number of cocktails and the aromatic blend is considered one of the must-have's of any well-stocked bar.

If you want to have a complete battery of bitters for mixing drinks at home or at a bar, you need:

Orange Bitters

Peach Bitters

Lemon Bitters

Old Fashioned (Angostura-type) Bitters

Peychaud's Bitters

Jaegermeister

Campari

Unicum

You can't get Peychaud's bitters anywhere else...nothing else compares. I think its one of the most versatile bitters there is. Is great as a digestif, too. I like it more than Underberg's as a digestif.

5.0 out of 5 stars Taste of Old New Orleans, September 11, 2009

Peychaud's Bitters is the defining ingredient in the classic New Orlean's cocktail known as the Sazerac, allegedly the first "cocktail" invented in the U.S., dating to the pre-Civil War period.

As such, there's no substitute! It lends a mildly bitter taste and a sophisticated aroma to any beverage. In addition to mixing it for Sazeracs (check on line for various recipe versions), I add 7 - 10 drops to an iced glass of tonic or lemon-lime soda when I want a super-low-alcohol beverage with the taste of an alcohol cocktail. I find it soothes both the nerves and the digestive system.

I love a good champagne cocktail and this brand of bitters is MUCH better than the bitters found at the grocery store.
