Angostura Bitters
Angostura bitters cocktails
Angostura bitters cocktails are dashes, not pours: Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Pisco Sour, Bamboo, and a few long drinks that finish with aromatic bitters.
Angostura bitters cocktails in this catalog use dashes, so one bottle covers the list. Peychaud’s is a different bitter and is not merged here. The whiskey classics are the Old Fashioned (bourbon, sugar, water) and the Manhattan (rye, sweet vermouth). Shake a Pisco Sour and finish with a few drops on the foam. Low-ABV is a Bamboo (dry sherry, dry vermouth, orange bitters plus Angostura). The same bottle also dashes an Old Cuban, a Champagne Cocktail, a Vieux Carré, and a Singapore Sling. Orange bitters are not a 1:1 swap in an Old Fashioned.
