Angostura Bitters
Anybody got a wangdangdoodle of a drink using this old school favorite? I like a couple of splashes into my bourbon and 7-Up. It also makes a Manhattan actually work, but then again my rye of choice is Wild Turkey.

I have a bottle of this in my cabinet and for the life of me cannot think of a single drink to use it for
in fact, i have no idea where it came from.
Perhaps it's been there since the dawn of time :shock:

Bitters is the good speaker wire of alcohol. You get along just fine without it but once you've had it, it's hard to do with out.

I was thinking more on the lines of Tabasco, it has to go on everyone once you've tried it, but I can dig "good speaker wire."Oggar wrote:Bitters is the good speaker wire of alcohol. You get along just fine without it but once you've had it, it's hard to do with out.
We use it in all kinds of things. Just a dash makes soups, stews, 7UP, Ginger Beer/Ale, G&Ts, lemonade, bourbon & soda, gravies & whatever else you can think of, better.

At British Student Unions, a popular drink is the pathetically named 'Long Vodka':
Bitters
Vodka
Lime
Lemonade (7-up or Sprite being acceptable alternatives)
I always used to have one of these on standby if we were drinking cheap tequilla, as I can't bear the fratboy lemon and salt rigmoroll.

Bitters cannot be singular since we are talking about more than one of the substance in question. Ergo, plural.CannonBall wrote:as per this thread, I have recently added these bitters to my manhattans that I love so dearly. I agree with the tobasco statement, I will now put these (it) on my eggs in place of tobasco, wait...did I miss something?
That said are (is) bitters singular? I don't get it. Thank you all!

Tobasco has to go on everyone?! Thanks, but no thanks, doll. That could really sting some of the more sensitive bits and pieces!Gin McGuinness wrote:I was thinking more on the lines of <b>Tabasco, it has to go on everyone once you've tried it</b>, but I can dig "good speaker wire."Oggar wrote:Bitters is the good speaker wire of alcohol.

Thanks for the ideas
Lifer--You're on. Come to Hollywood and I'll get you ripped at my favorite Skid Row bar. They may even take your worthless Canadian money for the cab ride home, but let's not push it.
Sangre--Actually, a bj from someone that just ate a couple of jalapenos or some hot sauce is pretty darn tinglely in a good way. Well, at least it was for me. But keep it away from your peehole. :oops:
Gah, I just used an emoticon. I promised myself I wouldn't ever do that. Time for a drink to erase that memory...
