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.

  • Re Maloney No. 2, 1 day ago Shawn C commented:

    The units conversions between metric and English units can be problematic. The idea seems to have been to default to increments available in more conventional metric or U.S. bar equipment, but the result is that the proportions can be altered when using units other than the system the cocktail was entered in (or vs. the source reference.) In this case the source is a U.S. recipe, so the metric conversions are .25 cl high both for the Cynar and the Maraschino. Both are fine in English (U.S.) units, so when in doubt, toggle the unit choice in your account to match the way it was likely entered, and/or check the source. Curation note: I have updated the reference to a direct link to the cocktail.

    Another outstanding drink from Yarm.

    We poured fat measures of the Campari, vermouth, & lime juice and a skinny measure of the simple syrup along with a scant two oz. of the seltzer. The drink is delicious, a taste of summer here in October.

    Didn’t have 100 proof on hand. Metric shows 1 cl and 1/4 oz closer to .75 cl. (incorrect conversion?)
    I put 1 cl of Maraschino and for the others 5/3/2 cl (1oz Cocchi) and still too sweet. Maybe add bitters? I had 2 olives.

    Bumped up mezcal to 1.5 oz and cassis to 0.5 oz. Like a fruity mezcal Negroni
