Fee Brothers Lime Bitters smells like disinfectant. Fortunately, it tastes better than that - plenty limey. I was a little worried it might not be sweet enough for what I have in mind but I think it should be fine.
As to my plans, I have mentioned several times here on the blog that one of my most exciting discoveries in the mixological hobby has been the magical combination of lime and almond flavors - definitely a greater than the sum of its parts situation. I'm eyeing an as yet unopened bottle of orgeat syrup on my cocktail flavorings shelf. Stay tuned.
hmm...
ReplyDeleteI think lime bitters would kind of be an overkill situation for me, what with the lime juice already in the drinks.
With this one and the lemon, I can see using either for a slight hint of something. Otherwise, I agree. Neither flavor needs much in the way of backup.
DeleteWow. You're brave to be tasting that!
ReplyDeleteSherry Ellis! As I live and breathe! It's been a while. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteI don't drink bitters straight. Even when I'm trying to isolate the flavor, I combine it with gin, less often vodka.
Interesting mix but you just never know what will savour our palette.
ReplyDeleteTruth. And it's a very personal thing.
DeleteI would be reluctant to drink anything that smelled of disinfectant.
ReplyDeleteHa! That's fair.
