A cocktail known as the Sazerac.

In 1838, New Orleans apothecary Antoine Amédée Peychaud created "Peycchaud's Bitters." In turn, these bitters were used by coffee houses to produce a popular cocktail. Using their house brandy in the 1850s, the Sazerac Coffee House devised the Sazerac with Peychaud's bitters.

Peychaud's aromatic cocktail bitters are made using a predominance of distinctive cloves with hefty liquorice notes, first crafted in 1793 [?]. They've stood the test of time and are a great 'all-rounder' for use in any drink calling for bitters, though particularly in a Sazerac cocktail.
