Orange Bitters

orange-bitters»The Bitter Truth – Orange Bitters« are a combination of bitter orange peel and several herbs and spices that are macerated in alcohol. The first orange bitters were released in the 1880s, a time when many classic cocktails such as the Martinez and Manhattan were created. Today they are still essential for the preparation of a Classic Martini Cocktail. The Bitter Truth – Orange Bitters can be combined with all kinds of spirits such as Whisk(e)y, Rum, Vodka and Gin.

Tasting Notes:
The fruity sweetness at the beginning is quickly followed by a very bitter taste. The aroma of bitter orange peel is in the foreground, completed by spicy flavors of cardamom, carraway and nutmeg.

Packaging:
200 ml USA/150 ml rest of world, 39% ABV

The orange bitters is perhaps, 20% fresher and zestier than any other orange bitters I know. I find I use less than, say, Regan’s when making an old-school martini. – Philip Duff, www.liquidsolutions.org
