Peychaud's bitters
With 35% ABV, Peychaud's flavor varies from the profile of aromatic bitters, as it's light and fruity. This sweet liquid is reminiscent of licorice and caramel, as its slight traces of cherry, clove, and nutmeg leave your mouth watering and craving another drink. Peychaud's is quite versatile in drinks, as it's not as heavy as most bitters.

Sazerac
The Sazerac is a local variation of a cognac or whiskey cocktail originally from New Orleans, named for the Sazerac de Forge et Fils brand of cognac brandy.

The cocktail, which is a close cousin to the Old Fashioned, has been kicking around in one form or another since as early as 1838 and was trademarked in 1900 by Sazerac Co.
