Peychaud’s Aromatic Cocktail Bitters
In the early 1800’s, Antoine Amedie Peychaud, an apothecary, gained fame in New Orleans not for the drugs he dispensed, but for the compounding of a liquid tonic called bitters. These bitters, good for what ailed one, irrespective of malady, gave an added zest to the potions of cognac brandy he served in his pharmacy. Cognac had long been a popular drink in the numerous coffee house of New Orleans, and presently customers began demanding their brandy spiked with a dash of the marvelous Peychaud’s Bitters. The zest Peychaud’s Bitters gives drinks and food has given it an honored place in famous gourmet recipes the world over
Taste is sweet with slight hints of cherry, clove, and nutmeg flavors on the nose. In 1793, wealthy plantation owners were forced to flee the island of San Domingo. Many came to (what was then) the Spanish Louisiana city of New Orleans.
