Orange Bitters

Citrus
Year-RoundUsed in ~67 drinks

A concentrated, bittersweet orange flavor that merges citrus brightness with gentian-like bitterness and dried peel intensity. Orange bitters occupy a unique space between the citrus and bitter categories, delivering a more focused, aromatic version of orange that is dry rather than juicy. They are essential in classic cocktail construction — a few dashes add aromatic complexity and a sophisticated bitter-citrus bridge to Martinis, Manhattans, and Champagne cocktails.

Aroma

Dried orange peel with a warm, spiced bitterness — like smelling a jar of marmalade crossed with a spice cabinet, concentrated and deeply aromatic.
