This recipe has an omission, but that is traced back to the reference link at Frederic Yarm's excellent site. The 3 dashes of Regan's Orange Bitters in the book reference was omitted in the listing--although it is a 50/50 guess whether the version Yarm made actually had this (or not) and it was inadvertently left off the ingredient list. I will likely curate this to list the book reference and update accordingly.

Thanks for pointing that out. I think it is very likely that Fred's version lacked the orange bitters (his tasting notes are congruent with his two-version recipe). I know the one I made lacked them, so made it again. Delicious.
