Peychaud's Bitters
Peychaud's Bitters is a bitters distributed by the American Sazerac Company.[1][2] It was originally created around 1830 by Antoine Amédée Peychaud, a Creole apothecary from the French colony of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) who settled in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1795.[3][4] It is a gentian-based bitters, comparable to Angostura bitters, but with a predominant anise aroma combined with a background of mint.[5] Peychaud's Bitters is the definitive component of the Sazerac cocktail.[6][7]
