Bitters of the Month: Boston
Bittermens Boston Bittahs aims for citrus and chamomile flavors. I'm not sure what's so "Boston" about it. The chamomile, maybe? Chamomile -> Tea -> Boston Tea Party?
The aroma is nice but with gin, I wouldn't say the taste held up especially well. Maybe vodka would be better. I could try it in a Kangaroo (aka Vodka Martini) rather than the orange bitters I used last time.
I looked at bitters when I made my 2x a year visit to the liquor store last week. Boy, they're much more expensive than they were the last time I brought some, which was probably in the 90s.

ReplyDeleteYeah, it's not the cheapest hobby I've ever taken up. On the other hand, bitters are generally shelf-stable!
DeleteNot one I will plan to try.
ReplyDeleteYeah, can't say I'd recommend it.
