Peychauds is a quite astonishing cocktail ingredient. Not only is it a very versatile bitter, found in both classic and contemporary drinks. But it also gives drinks a very beautiful pink to red colour when mixed with clear spirits.
A very good example of this is a cocktail called La Rosa Louisiane by Will (who makes up 50 percent of the inspiring @kaleandcocktail Instagram account).
This cocktail is boozy, herbal and bitter. And we love it!!
