Created in 1824, Angostura bitters have become an essential ingredient in the world's most renowned drinks. Sailors first used the medicinal tincture to quell seasickness, adding it to gin. Since then, the iconic concoction has conquered the world. This spirited collection celebrates that achievement with tried-and-true classics, exciting twists on familiar favorites--including the Oaxaca Old Fashioned, Rum Manhattan, and Mandarin Sazerac--and fresh creations, such as the Fitzgerald, Old Flame, and Scarlet Ibis. It also includes nonalcoholic drinks and ideas for using the bitters in sweets--from apple crumble and beignets to ice cream and pumpkin pie--as well as savory foods, including soups, sauces, rice, seafood, chili, and meats. As you explore these delicious recipes, you'll dive into the brand's fascinating history, including why the label is famously 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.
