Angostura Bitters

A wide variety of bitters are available, but I typically use Angostura bitters in my drink mixes, desserts, and sauces. It is often an optional ingredient, but its flavor is worth getting used to. Angostura bitters, made from a variety of herbs, spices, and other ingredients, were initially manufactured as a medicine to cure upset stomach, but now they are found in most Caribbean kitchens. It is a necessity in making authentic Caribbean cocktails.
