Sazerac Cocktail
Antoine Amadie Peychaud, a Creole immigrant. In 1795, he immigrated to New Orleans from the West Indies and opened a drugstore
in the 1830s called Pharmacie Peychaud on the French Quarter's Royal Street. With his background as an apothecary, he was a natural mixologist. His friends would gather for late-night revelry at his pharmacy. Peychaud would mix brandy, absinthe and a dash of his secret bitters for his guests. Later this quaff would come to be known as the Sazerac.

Sazerac Cocktail
The popularity of the Sazerac cocktail led to the opening of a large bar in 1852 called the Sazerac Coffee House (coffee house was the term used for drinking establishment in the mid-1800s). The bar had a 125-foot-long bar manned by a dozen bartenders all mixing Sazerac cocktails for patrons. Stomach bitters were basically alcohol disguised as medicine. they became extremely popular from 1850 to 1870 due to the liquor tax laws, the popularity of temperance movements, and local restrictions on the liquor trade.
Peychaud had a unique way of serving his drink. He served it an an egg cup, know to the French speakers as a coquetier. Most historians believe that the work "cocktail" came from a mispronunciation of this French word.
