This one could be a tough sell with my wife. She loves mint, as in the real thing - artificial mint flavors decidedly less so. I've long had a thought to create a cocktail based on Girl Scout Thin Mints and mint bitters may indeed have a meaningful role to play. But again, my wife may take some convincing to try it. Stay tuned.
I have wondered about the possibility of using bitters for something other than cocktails and mint might be a good candidate for adding a hint to something. I did try adding it to some mint tea. I'm not sure if it did much to enhance the flavor. A blind test would be needed to tell, I think. But it certainly didn't do any harm.
I never knew there were so many different varieties of bitters. Mint seems best to get from the real thing.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. And my wife certainly would. But it still might be just the thing at some point.
DeleteI don’t even know where to find bitters but I like this bottle. Bright. You are reminding me of my brother who has a Facebook page called “Life of Baron”. He talks about his walks, his chicken wing challenge but he is now discussing beers.
ReplyDeleteYour brother seems like my kind of people.
