Let’s explore cocktail bitters, what are bitters used for and how are they going to make your drink better? Bitters are the “salt and pepper” of your cocktails, they’re your spice cabinet for drink creation.

This was loaded with good info. The problem I have with shopping for bitters is that most sites use the same general description from the brand site. Some bitters are easier to use in cocktails, while others are more complex. But it’s hard to differentiate those unless you buy and experiment with them.
what is the bitter with the eagle on it
CAWKTAILS
very informative , do you know where i can buy that awesome old man bitters that u used in your 3-mile long island ice tea video ? you really semmed to enjoy that drink but im missing the bitters to make my own. Thanks for answering 🙂
glad to see lots of Italian brands there!
lol.. these bitters really tie a drink together. #thedude
You’re awesome man!!!
Thanks for the info!
Great video great info
Great info, thanks!
Very informative video! Bitters are amazing when you know how to use them. My old friend has been experimenting with them for years as a bartender and I love what he’s been coming up with lately. Something to do with rosemary to thyme. Anyway, I don’t know anything about them, so this video helps a lot.
pimms is an amaro? its sweet though..?
I think you are burying the lead here.
“If you are peeing blood, go to the doctor.”
Have you ever tried using bitters in Bloody Mary cocktails? If so, did they blend well together? If not, would that be something you’d consider experimenting with on the show?
so… point of order. fyi.
the dropper top is designed to pull the same amount every time (usually 1 ml) all of my products have a recommended serving size of 1 ml. The reason the dropper doesn’t fill all the way is because of the size of the rubber bulb. This is designed to pull a specific dose.
What bitters do u recommend for a old fashion?
Thank goodness you did not make a “Putin Potion” with Russian Wodka
This is exactly what I asked my liquor distributor last week! Exactly what I needed. Thank you very much.
Thank you for this video! I was just in SPECS and I was asking myself this very question when I came across a section of bitters.
Loads of great info!! I liked the jokes, made me actually laugh.
Haha damn i love the intro
i like to eat square things
Haven’t been experimenting with anything other than vodka and rum, but now I’m gonna dip into whiskey. Do you still recommend the buffalo trace brand?
This was really well done. I think bitters can sometimes be a little bit obscure for people. Nice.
Hello, what bitters would you recomend to use in cocktails like the Manhattan or the Old Fashioned and similar ones?
The Bee’s Knees with lavender bitters is one of my favs
very informative! great vid.
Great straightforward explanation of bitters. I have used bitters but now I know why I use them.
I want to expand my bitters options at home. I have Aromatic and Orange, and I am looking for another versatile one in the citrus category. Any recommendations between Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime or a Citrus blend (such as from Hella Bitters)?
thanks great information
Why does the picture go yo black and white on close ups? Just curious.
Have you seen or tried McClary Bros drinking vinegars ? I use the lemon ginger in a Moscow mule. It’s really interesting and different

You need to try to keep your video shorter
I thought my ex was a whore hound
Hi Derrick. I really enjoy watching your cocktail channel. I would like to ask you a question on naming a cocktail and registered it. So everybody knows that you invented the cocktail.
Do you use bitters primarily to add balance and give a specific direction to cocktails, or do you ever tinker and experiment with a wide variety bitters on a blank canvas simple cocktail to see what works?
Hello, I want to pick up some bitters for various drinks. Can you help me narrow down the search? There are so many types and brands out there. Thanks.
