You see it on bar lists all the time and chances are they’re in your favourite cocktails, but what exactly are bitters? Many bitters were originally sold as medicinal cure for various ailments. The concentrated flavour stimulants were also considered a necessity in the early days of mixology. Today, a dash or two of classic and modern bitters can revive an otherwise ordinary drink.
On February 20th, The Modern Bartender is hosting an ideal opportunity to explore the world of bitters. This “Bitters” event includes sampling of various bitters and related cocktails. If that isn’t reason enough to attend, consider the special presentation by local bitters experts and creators of the artisanal “Bittered Sling“, Lauren Mote and Joanathan Chovancek. Check out all their current creations here.
