Bitters non-potable? Pshaw.

Cocktails with Lots of Non-potable Bitters

Many of the definitive cocktails from both vintage and modern times are held together by non-potable bitters - infusions of various barks, roots, spices, and other flavoring agents that were traditionally developed as medicine. Before Prohibition (but after the cocktail had been well-established), this usually meant Angostura, Peychaud's, Boker's, or orange bitters, which were key ingredients in drinks like the Manhattan, the Sazerac, and - despite what Winston Churchill said - the Martini.

    Beautiful play on a Vieux Carré. The added Cynar, at the expense of sweet vermouth, adds an earthy, bittersweet depth. Used cherry wood for the smoke and really enjoyed that.

  • Re Ginger Sidecar, 3 days ago lcwareham commented:

    Good, but a little sweet. Try 1 oz cognac and 1 1/4 ginger

  • Re Shinkansenspotter, 3 days ago KateGrossman commented:

    This is great. Be sure to stir with ice to dilute sufficiently. Boozy but also light and soft.

  • Re The Royal Family, 3 days ago Biff Malibu commented:

    Very important to keep an eye on the "Reposado". . .I used a Blanco, and it was not the best choice. A slightly softer Tequila would have been a better move on my part.

    Made with Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur and Five Farms Irish Cream. All I can say is: yes.
