Drinks & Cocktails with Bitters
A bitter type of spirit, used to make cocktails dry and to add a bitter, or bittersweet, touch. Bitters were originally developed to relieve stomach problems, nausea and other physical problems.
Bitters are not to mix up with bitters! Regular bitter spirits are often shot or drunk as a digestif. The other kind, this kind of bitter you just use dashwise, for the bitter-sweet taste. Be very careful, however: too much of it spoils the cocktail.
