The toddies were made using a double-ended egg cup as a measuring cup or jigger, then known as a "coquetier" (pronounced "ko-k-tay"), from which the word "cocktail" was derived. Thus, the world's first cocktail was born! By 1850, the Sazerac Cocktail, made with Sazerac French brandy and Peychaud's Bitters, was immensely popular, and became the first "branded" cocktail. In 1873, the recipe for the Sazerac Cocktail was altered to replace the French brandy with American Rye whiskey, and a dash of absinthe was added. In 1933, the Sazerac Cocktail was bottled and marketed by the Sazerac Company of New Orleans. That same year, "Herbsaint," a pastis, was made according to a French recipe; "Herbsaint" was so named for the New Orleans term for wormwood - "Herb Sainte." In 1940, the Official Sazerac Cocktail recipe was modified to use Herbsaint as the absinthe. Finally, in 2000, the Official Sazerac Cocktail recipe was modified to use Sazerac Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey.Package Dimensions: 7.3 x 3.0 x 2.8 inches

Most cocktail bitters or any alcoholic drink started as medicine. They contain 20 to 50 percent alcohol and are generally used in small amounts to counter any sweetness or sourness from the cocktail.
Category of Bitters
- Aromatic Bitters
This is the largest category of bitters, with Angostura being the most notable. It has a good balance of bitterness and aroma to provide a decent flavor for your cocktails.
- Orange Bitters
Citrus bitter is the oldest type of bitters with flavors based on grapefruit, Meyer lemon, and yuzu. They're best used for spirits like gin, vodka, or white rum. The citrus taste is an excellent addition to strong-tasting alcohol.
- Herbal Bitters
The dominant herbal taste can be tasted in these bitters. They're used for cocktails that require an herbal flavor. It is a well-known digestive aid to prevent or treat nausea.
- Fruit Bitters
These are bitters with a hint of sweetness. They come in different fruit flavors and are used for fruity drinks to maintain the taste but carefully dull the cocktail's sweetness.
- Nut Bitters
This type of bitters provides a rustic and earthy taste which goes excellent for creme cocktails. You can add this on chocolate martinis to bring out that extra nutty flavor.
