What exactly is in Peychaud's bitters?
"And Julio Franco is batting right-handed!" -- Wayne Hagin, A's radio play-by-play, mid-80s
It's a N.O. ingredient
Though bitter, not sweet, it tastes a bit like root beer, a bit like pastis
It’s also bright red.
Not very expensive, but a bit hard to find (at least in Oklahoma).
But a little goes a long way.
It’s also a key ingredient in such other N.O. cocktails as the Sazerac and La Louisiane

And the cops couldn't have been less interested in intervening
I really wished we could have called a social worker instead of cops, but it was probably the 10th time in a few months we’d said, “Is someone really going to get hurt up there?” We kind of figured that we’d regret it more if we decided not to call and he threw her out of the window or something.
