In praise of bitters

08 January 2020

Wine writer Jonathan Reeve profiles the various alcohol-free and alcohol-reduced drinks available in his feature: “How to Abstain” published on www.jancisrobinson.com

Jonathan writes:
“Bitters are a great way to instantly jazz up various drinks without resorting to booze. Three dashes of bitters will add negligible alcohol to a drink, but stacks of flavour and intrigue. Three dashes of bitters in 300 ml of tonic water creates an excellent drink with about 0.25% alcohol.”

 “Angostura is the everyday/famous bitters, but Bob’s are better.Definitely seek these out. They’re hand-made in small batches, and available internationally.
