About this bottle
Angostura Aromatic Bitters has been made in Trinidad since the 1800s from a closely guarded recipe built around gentian root along with a proprietary blend of herbs and spices — the exact formula is known to only a handful of people at any time. Bottled at 44.7% ABV, it's concentrated enough that a few dashes carry through an entire cocktail, which is exactly how it's meant to be used rather than sipped on its own. The oversized, mismatched label has become as iconic as the product inside it. It's the bitters most bar recipes default to when a recipe just says "bitters" without specifying a brand.
How to drink Angostura Aromatic Bitters
Use it by the dash, not the pour — a few drops in an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or even a glass of soda water is the standard serve.
