Bitters non-potable? Pshaw.

When a dash isn't enough

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.

    I agree that it's a bit high on the citrus, so more tart than sweet, but I'm okay with that. Not terribly complex but not quite a juice bomb either. I feel like the Heering comes through in a subtle way, and adding a bit more tames the acid but adds too much of the cherry syrupy-ness.

    A touch sweet. If I were to remake this again, I would do 1/2 oz orgeat and 1/2 oz Cynar. Made me think of the Turnbuckle albeit with different proportions and different tropical note (pineapple vs. passion).

    Read the list of liquors and thought "no way will that taste good". I was wrong. Maybe a tad too sweet, but ten out of ten, would recommend.
