Ripening me for the moment I laid hands on the book Bitters by Brad Thomas Parsons.ĭiane and I were meeting with the publishers of Ten Speed Press to discuss a project we were working on with them, and I spied the Bitters book on their shelf. But all of these subtle and not so subtle hints have taking me along my current path. We’ve even had several bottles of bitters in amongst our golden elixirs of alcohol, but they were almost never used. Time after time, bitters have been under my nose, and yet I’ve passed right over their magic. A reader commented about my use of triple sec in a margarita recipe, disapproving of it’s unctuous sweetness and mentioned it would be much better with some simple syrup and bitters instead. Diane comes home from photographing Bazaar, a hot restaurant in LA known for their exceptional cocktails recipes (among other things), and she is all aflutter talking about their house made bitters. Not for the lack of signs trying to tell me the same thing. My dawdling discovery of bitters magic powers recently came to fruition in the pages of a book. This is the start to the best margarita recipe. Often times, there are bitters they are making themselves amongst the bottles. Just about anytime I find a bar making exceptional cocktails drinks, it is almost a guarantee that they have a beautiful stock of bitters frequently reached for behind the bar.

A mystical potion which marries the ingredients of a cocktail together. Cocktail Bitters have been known to many much more savvy than I, but for me it is an exciting new world.
