What happens when a winemaker from Sonoma walks into a bar on Bourbon Street? He walks out with this cocktail….according to the experts the creation of the Sazerac has also been credited to Antoine Amédée Peychaud, a Creole apothecary who emigrated to New Orleans from the West Indies and set up shop in the French Quarter in the early 19th century. He was known to dispense a proprietary mix of aromatic bitters from an old family recipe. We’re just following in his footsteps…
