Never mixed either one before. As stated above, I have a fairly well-stocked bar. But it has never included a bottle of Dubonnet. I’ll have to get one. And I have Angostura bitters and orange bitters, but not Peychaud’s.

I really don’t like rye whiskey, so I no longer keep it on hand. I could probably attempt a Deshler substituting bourbon, Chambord, and Angostura bitters. But then the question arises: how many substitutions can you make before it’s no longer the cocktail you intended to mix?
