Orange Bitters

Bitters are the mixologist’s secret weapon: just a few drops added to a simple gin and tonic or fancy cocktail can take its quaffability to another dimension. One of the most popular flavours for bitters comes from the peel of Seville oranges, the citrus fruit that so excites marmalade makers. Not the exclusive preserve of the cocktail maker, a dash of this golden-orange elixir can be used elsewhere in the kitchen; try adding its zesty goodness to marinades, gravies and sauces.
