aromatic bitters

Aromatic bitters are a concentrated liquid seasoning made from a blend of herbs, spices, roots, and botanicals infused in alcohol. They are used in small amounts to add depth, complexity, and balance to cocktails and culinary dishes. Bitters enhance flavors by providing aromatic and slightly bitter notes, often improving the overall taste profile of a beverage. They originated as medicinal remedies but are now essential in bartending for their ability to elevate flavor and aroma. Despite their intense flavor, only a few dashes are needed, making them a versatile tool in both drinks and cooking.
