This is a pretty classic drink that prescribes pretty well to the definition of cocktail from over a hundred years ago. It uses Peychauds bitters, which are a New Orleans staple and the essential cocktail bitter in a Sazerac. Combined with the orange juice and whiskey, Peychauds makes this a cool-looking golden  drink that’s pretty old school in it’s flavor profile.

Bittersweet Cocktail

• 2 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters
