Angostura Orange Bitters 10cl: The Soul of Exceptional Cocktails (and More)

Among these, Angostura Orange Bitters holds a special place. This 10cl bottle packs a powerful punch of citrus and spice, adding remarkable depth and complexity to your favourite drinks.

A Legacy of Flavour

First introduced in 1930s, Angostura Orange Bitters hails from the renowned House of Angostura, established in Trinidad and Tobago in 1824. The recipe remains a closely guarded secret, but we do know it features a blend of tropical orange peels and a symphony of exotic spices. This unique combination translates into a flavour profile unlike any other.

Due to its concentrated nature, Angostura Orange Bitters isn't meant to be enjoyed neat. However, a few dashes on a spoon can reveal its captivating essence.

  • Aroma: The initial impression is a burst of bright, zesty orange peel, reminiscent of freshly squeezed sunshine. As you delve deeper, subtle hints of warm spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves emerge, creating a truly captivating aroma.
  • Palate: The flavour explodes on the tongue with a wave of intense orange citrus. The zesty notes are balanced by a touch of sweetness, followed by a warming sensation from the secret blend of spices. The finish is long and lingering, leaving a pleasant citrus aftertaste.
