Peychaud's Bitters
Peychaud's bitters is a bitters distributed by the American Sazerac Company .[ 1] [ 2] It was originally created between 1849 and 1857 by Antoine Amédée Peychaud, a Creole apothecary from the French colony of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti ) who traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana , around 1793.[ 3] It is a gentian -based bitters, comparable to Angostura bitters , but with a predominant anise aroma combined with a background of mint.[ 4] It is currently produced at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky.
Peychaud's bitters is a distinctive ingredient in certain cocktails, particularly those from New Orleans, most famously the Sazerac cocktail [ 5] [ 6] and the Vieux Carré . Other cocktails that feature Peychaud's bitters include the Pendennis Club .
