Orange bitters are a type of cocktail bitters where the flavor of sweet or bitter oranges predominates. While orange bitters were very popular in the 19th century bar, they fell out of favor, and it was only in the mid-1990's that commercial versions of orange bitters reappeared on the market.
There are three major producers of orange bitters:
- Regans' Orange Bitters #6,
- Fee Brothers Orange Bitters, and
- Angostura Orange Bitters.
