Peychaud’s Aperitivo

The Sazerac Company has launched Peychaud’s Aperitivo.

Antoine Amedie Peychaud began producing his bitters in a New Orleans apothecary more than 150 years ago, eventually becoming the lead bartender of the Sazerac Coffeehouse, the company says, where he mixed simple cocktails with his bitters to much success.

Today, the Sazerac Company — still producing Peychaud’s Bitters according to the original recipe — is announcing a new spirit “with Peychaud’s belief in quality, simplicity and mixability in mind,” the company says.
