Take Your Bitters

I’m setting up an old fashioned and bourbon highball bar for tomorrow night for a party. So, what do I forget at the liquor store? Bitters. I bought these three bottles (Angostura, Peychaud’s, and Fee Brothers Cherry Bitters) earlier in the week at my neighborhood Twin Liquors. Twin was out of Fee’s Orange Bitters and didn’t appear to stock any other kinds, so I had wanted to check the selection at Spec’s, as I figured they’d have orange bitters in stock and might have some other brands. But, instead, we just bought a bunch of bourbon and came back. C’est la vie.
Bitters always have the most beautiful old-fashioned packaging. Pechaud’s pretty much reins supreme in this department.
