About Orange bitters

Orange bitters are concentrated cocktail bitters that add citrus peel aroma, gentle bitterness, and spice without much sweetness. Orange bitters cocktails use a few dashes to sharpen martinis, Old Fashioned riffs, sours, and aromatic stirred drinks.

Browse cocktails with Orange bitters to find recipes where a small accent makes the drink more balanced and fragrant. They pair well with gin, whiskey, rum, tequila, vermouth, curaçao, lemon, grapefruit, and baking spices.
