Bitters, Saline, and Citrus…
- Angostura Aromatic Bitters: The undisputed king of cocktail bitters, adding complexity, depth, and a touch of magic.
- Angostura Orange Bitters or Reagan’s Orange Bitters: Adds bright, zesty citrus notes—like sunshine in a bottle.
- Peychaud’s Bitters: Sweeter and more floral than Angostura, a must-have for Sazeracs and other New Orleans classics.
- Saline Solution: Just a few drops can enhance flavors and create a more balanced sweetness—it’s like a secret weapon.
- Lemon Juice: Freshly squeezed is always best for maximum brightness and flavor—no bottled stuff here!
- Lime Juice: Essential for countless classic cocktails, also best when freshly squeezed—it makes all the difference.
