Angostura Aromatic Bitters are the world-famous cocktail bitters from the House of Angostura in Trinidad, bottled at 44.7% ABV in a 200ml (6.7 oz) bottle.
Made to a secret recipe of herbs and spices dating back to 1824, they are an essential ingredient in countless classic cocktails.
Their concentrated, aromatic profile of clove, cinnamon, gentian and dried fruit adds depth and balance with just a few dashes.
The bottle carries a royal warrant and the brand's famously oversized paper label.
No home bar is complete without them, from the Old Fashioned and Manhattan to the Pink Gin and Champagne Cocktail. The generous 200ml size lasts for hundreds of cocktails, making it a practical staple and a thoughtful gift for any home bartender.

How to Enjoy It
A few dashes of Angostura bring classic cocktails to life: stir them into an Old Fashioned with bourbon and sugar, a Manhattan with rye and sweet vermouth, or a Champagne Cocktail over a sugar cube. Add a dash to a rum punch, a Pisco Sour foam or a glass of soda water with lime for a near-zero-proof refresher. A dash also lifts soups, sauces, marinades and fruit salads in the kitchen, and a few drops in hot chocolate add warming spice. Store it upright in a cool place. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays.
