Angostura Bitters Cocktails
More Than 70 Classic Recipes and Fancy Drinks
In 1824, Johann Siegert, surgeon general of Venezuela's army, created Angostura bitters as a medicinal tincture to alleviate soldiers' stomach ailments. Sailors soon discovered that adding it to gin helped quell seasickness, giving rise to the Pink Gin cocktail. Over time, this iconic concoction has gained worldwide popularity, becoming a key ingredient in countless drinks. This spirited collection celebrates that legacy with timeless classics; inventive twists on familiar favorites, including the Oaxaca Old-Fashioned, Rum Manhattan, and Mandarin Sazerac; as well as exciting new creations such as the Fitzgerald, Old Flame, and Scarlet Ibis. It also features nonalcoholic drinks such as the famous Lemon, Lime, and Bitters, along with ideas for incorporating bitters into culinary creations both sweet and savory. Alongside the delicious recipes, sidebars dive into the brand's fascinating history, including why the iconic label is too big for the bottle and how the company keeps the formula secret. Beautifully photographed and endlessly enticing, this book will delight any cocktail lover.
