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.

    I resemble that remark.

    I wouldn't use Sfumato for this, or at least not the full measure. The quantity looks more like it was built around Zucca. Zucca is sweeter, with the essential flavor/smokiness, but not the same bitter intensity.

    Sfumato overwhelms for me

    Impressive and one of the better ways to use Arrack for those of us who may have bought a bottle without a clear plan. Balanced and lightens and sweetens the weight of it.

    Really wonderful Daiquiri variant
