Angostura Orange Cocktail Bitters, 4 Fl Oz Bottle

Love this stuff. I use it for many different drinks including my old fashioned and other strong drinks that need just a small hit of orange. It tastes better than a squeeze of orange too but lacks the oily punch from a twisted orange peel. This product works perfectly when real oranges aren’t available. A little bit goes a long way so it’s a solid purchase for the price.

I put this in ginger ale and it tastes great! Occasionally I have a drink with friends and it’s also delicious with bourbon. It’s rather pricey though. If you can afford it, I’d say “go for it!”

Great in old fashioned cocktail

I can now say that orange bitters are amazing. I put a dash or two in ice water and it is refreshing. Even better is a glass of bourbon with a few dashes and then maybe a garnish of lime for a refreshing treat. I have used Angostura bitters for fifteen plus years but never tried the orange until recently. Wow have I been missing out. The price seems just about right on these in the 9 to 10 dollar range. I have tried other brands of bitters that were supposed to be the best thing around but they did not come close to the taste of these. I will be buying more once this bottle runs out. I am now curious to see what some of the other flavors available taste like that I have not had the pleasure of trying.Pros:-great taste-refreshing-good price point-the bottle with last awhile since you just need a dash or two per drinkCons:-non that I have experienced yet

Good bitters for old fashions!

These are great for making Old Fashions. Between this and the original Angostura Bitters you can't go wrong.My Old Fashion RecipeRaw Sugar (crucial, don't use pre-made syrup!)

So maybe I live in a small town, Olympia, WA - I'm often frustrated by how poorly stocked our local retailers can be ... must not be very many people in Olympia interested in mixing CLASSIC cocktails (shaken in stainless, served up in stemmed crystal COCKTAIL glassware). I could find the original Angostura Bitters at every retailer. Couldn't find anything like the Angostura Orange Bitters. In addition to the Angostura Orange Bitters ... Amazon.com has a fine selection of specialty products and accessories for the home bartender. I've become a big Amazon.com fan after hosting just a few cocktail parties.The Angostura Orange Bitters are excellent in mixed cocktails ... if your recipe calls for a dash, use a half, if for two use only one. Angostura produces a robust product. I read several taste test articles before deciding on the Angostura brand. Hands down difficult to beat a true original. Do visit the Angostura web site too! I printed a file packed with mixology know how, tips on what to mix with what to achieve various flavors, and, certainly many uses for Angostura products.Cheers!

Angostura has been a brand name well-known to my family for generations. As a child, I remember my grandfather and keeping a bottle around. These days, I always have one on hand and so do most of my friends. Recently my local grocery store stopped carrying Angostura regularly so I looked online for it (as almost everything is available online these days) and much to my surprise it was available in original and orange flavor!I haven't yet tried any other brands or flavors of bitters, but I do know that I thoroughly enjoy Angostura orange bitters and will be buying another bottle. In fact, I may have been converted to orange. I find it versatile in that its great for cocktails, non-alcoholic mixers, and flavoring carbonated water such as club soda and seltzer. Like the original, the more you add, the more pronounced the flavor can be so the flavor can range from a delicate hint to bold.
