Rye is absolutely vital in a Sazerac, among the most supernaturally alluring of drinks and frequently a bartender's favorite. Peychaud's bitters, which are made by the Sazerac Company in Louisiana, are asked for here, and are lighter than the more commonly found Angostura variety. If you can't get your hands on some, try using your own favorite bitters. (The New York Times)
