Twist on the Classics

With the revival of the classic cocktail over the last couple years came the rebirth of a time-honored cocktail ingredient – bitters. And not just your run of the mill Aromatic Bitters or Orange Bitters - although these are standards that should never see the back of the shelf - but bitters of every flavor imaginable.

Fee Brothers has been pulling out all the stops. Each year, they’ve been introducing exciting new cocktail bitters flavors – ones I never even dreamed of – which are quickly becoming ones I wouldn’t want to be without. Check these out, from our Fee Brothers Complete Cocktail Bitters Set:

There’s bound to be at least one type of bitters in that list you haven’t yet tasted. And for those of you who think bitters are just a thing of the past, think again. Cocktail bitters aren’t just an extraneous ingredient; they help to impart all flavors in your cocktail, enriching your experience overall.

For the holidays this year, try this update to the classic Manhattan, using Cherry Bitters:

2 oz whiskey or bourbon (I recommend Maker’s Mark)
1 oz sweet vermouth (or less - you don’t want to bruise the alcohol)
2 dashes Fee Brothers Cherry Bitters

Pour ingredients into a shaker over ice. Shake well and strain into a martini or rocks glass. Garnish with a cherry.

Pick up a bottle you’ve never tried, or treat yourself to the entire 8-bottle bitters set for just $44.95.

Your cocktails have never had it so good.
