While many cocktails call for bitters in the recipe, many that don’t still benefit from a dash or two. So what are they and how do you use them?
Many of you have asked us to do a detailed look into bitters, and we definitely have to do that at some stage, but this episode is for those who perhaps only think of Angostura when it comes to bitters.
We live in a wonderful time for cocktail bitters, hopefully this episode will help you on your journey of discovery!

Bitters really are the key to elevating a cocktail from the standard as defined by the recipe to something that's truly memorable. And it's important to expand beyond just Angostura and orange bitters; something like a grapefruit bitter can totally change a drink like the negroni.

Sometimes, I'll add celery bitters to beef stew. Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters goes well in a double-shot of espresso. I have a bunch of other bottles of bitters, and I have barely tried them. I need to get on that. I have made home-made key lime bitters. Sometimes I'll add them to a Moscow Mule, to give it more lime flavor.

Nice video. I may have to go find a bottle of the Aphrodite bitters - all the flavors you mentioned are right up my alley. I've supported a couple Kickstarter campaigns for people starting to make craft bitters (as well as shrubs and syrups). I've experimented substituting a couple of them in for Angostura in a Manhattan with pretty good results. Any thoughts for a good use for Black Currant and Cocoa bitters or maybe Tart Cherry and Saffron?
@BehindtheBar
@BehindtheBar 3 года назад
Ooh the black currant one makes me think of rum right away- in a rum Old Fashioned or to add some interest to something like a Daiquiri or Dark & Stormy. The saffron one would be beautiful with gin I’d imagine, again spice up something simple like a Tom Collins 😋

Adding a squeeze of fresh citrus always helps, or try switching out the sprite etc for plain (club) soda which still lengthens and gives you bubbles but doesn’t add any more sweetness.

Bitters are generally high in alcohol so pretty stable - they’re fine stored as you usually would your spirits, out of direct sunlight, but don’t need to be in the fridge or anything. Some smaller batch ones will ‘flock’ a bit with changes in temperature (I.e. go a little cloudy), but that doesn’t mean you can’t use them 😊

It's not a cocktail if it does not contain bitters. 3 ingredients minimum. Spirits, sugar and bitters. All others are simply mixed drinks.
