Orange bitters

Orange bitters are a type of aromatic liquor used to enhance the flavor of cocktails. They are made by infusing alcohol with bitter orange peels, along with herbs, spices, and botanicals, resulting in a complex, zesty flavor profile. Typically added in small amounts, they provide a subtle citrus bitterness and depth, balancing sweeter ingredients and complementing spirits like gin, whiskey, or vodka. Orange bitters are popular in classic cocktails such as the Manhattan and Old Fashioned, and they help to add brightness and complexity to a wide range of mixed drinks.
