Aromatic Bitters

Bitter
Year-RoundUsed in ~33 drinks

A warm, complex spice-and-bark bitterness that is the backbone of classic cocktail construction. Aromatic bitters — epitomized by Angostura — deliver a concentrated blend of gentian, cinnamon, clove, and allspice that knits disparate ingredients into a cohesive whole. Just a few dashes add depth, warmth, and a finishing spice note that transforms simple into sophisticated.

Aroma

A rich, warm wave of baking spices — cinnamon, clove, and allspice — layered over a dark, bark-like bitterness and faint caramel sweetness.
