Peychaud’s bitters

Devised by Creole apothecary Antoine Amédée Peychaud in the mid-19th century, these bitters owe their popularity to the Sazerac cocktail. They’re a necessary element in plenty of other classic cocktails as well.

Really Good App

We downloaded the app after seeing it as one of the top posts on /r/cocktails, and we've been playing around with it and adding our ingredients to the list.
