Fee Brothers Cherry Bitters definitely tastes like cherries. My question is how well does that cherry flavor hold up in a cocktail? The recipes I find online also include other cherry-flavored ingredients: brandy, liqueur, heering, etc. Is there any room for the bitters to shine through on its own? This may require some experimentation.
Looks like an interesting find! Looking forward to hearing the results. I used to have bitters and vermouth in the cabinet, but haven't used them in decades.

Bitters have been a fascinating exploration.
DeleteI've been experimenting with a cherry drink but haven't been satisfied with the results so far. Maybe this is also needed.
ReplyDeleteTell us more.
DeleteI've abandoned cherry for the moment, but I have an orange drink I'll be posting a recipe for as soon as I get a chance.
DeleteCan't wait.
Deleteooooooooooooh this sound fabulous since I don't drink I am wondering what you would use these for ?
ReplyDeletePoking around, once does see food recipes involving bitters - sauces and such. There's certainly no reason not to. They are potent flavor accents. However, the alcohol content is considerable. As with flavor extracts, burning off the alcohol somewhere in the process is no doubt preferable.
DeleteShould be a fun task - I keep meaning to have a go at making bitters.
ReplyDeletePerhaps someday for me. I'm having plenty of fun with the store-bought products for now.
