In 1824, Dr. Johann Siegart, a German doctor serving as Surgeon-General of Simon Bolivar’s army in Venezuela, was working to find a medicine that would enhance the appetite and digestive well-being of his soldiers. Dr. Siegart eventually settled upon a mix of herbs and spices that he called “Amargo Aromatico” — today, this world-famous concoction is known simply as Angostura Bitters.
“A cocktail cabinet without Angostura is like a kitchen without salt and pepper.” ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters adds a layer of complexity, intensifies the flavor of other ingredients, counteracts the harshness of acidic contents and decreases the harshness of spirits. But it doesn’t stop there – it also helps cleanse the palate and aid in digestion. Ever had an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Pink Gin or Mai Tai? Then you’ve experienced ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters. It’s the can’t-miss bottle behind the bar, featuring an over-sized label and distinct yellow cap.
How to use Angostura Aromatic Bitters: Just add a few dashes to your favorite cocktails like Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Pink Gin or Mai Tai. It will enhance the flavor and add a layer of complexity. Note: Keep it in a cool, dry place. Shake well before use. This bitters doesn’t require any special maintenance. Just enjoy its amazing taste in your cocktails!
