cocktail bitters

Cocktail bitters are highly concentrated flavor extracts made from herbs, spices, fruits, and roots infused in alcohol. Used sparingly, they enhance and deepen the flavor profile of cocktails by adding complexity, balance, and aroma. Bitters serve as a subtle seasoning, similar to how a pinch of salt can elevate a dish, and are essential in many classic drinks like the Old Fashioned or Manhattan. They typically have a bittersweet, aromatic taste and are available in a variety of flavors to complement different cocktail styles, providing depth and refinement to the beverage.
