About this product
Bright Citrus, Spice & Cocktail Magic.
There are few bottles that can transform a cocktail with such little effort. ANGOSTURA® Orange Bitters brings together bright tropical orange and aromatic spices in a complex, beautifully balanced bitters designed to add another layer of flavour without overwhelming the drink. Unlike the famous ANGOSTURA® Aromatic Bitters, Orange Bitters has its own completely separate secret recipe, giving it a distinctly fresh, citrus-led character.
This is the bitters to reach for when you want a cocktail to feel brighter, fresher and more lifted. A few dashes can sharpen a Martini, add citrus-spice depth to a Whisky cocktail or bring extra dimension to a Vodka or Gin serve. It is also surprisingly useful beyond the bar, working beautifully with desserts and even savoury dishes, particularly seafood. For cocktail enthusiasts in Ireland, it is a small bottle with a seriously large repertoire.
Why we love it:
Bright, citrusy and wonderfully versatile, Angostura Orange Bitters is one of those bottles that earns its place in the cocktail cabinet very quickly. It gives Martinis extra freshness, adds complexity to spirit-forward drinks and can even stand in for orange zest when you're cooking or baking. A couple of dashes are often all it takes to make a familiar drink taste noticeably more sophisticated.

Tasting notes
Colour
Clear and bright.
Nose
Fresh orange leads the way, rounded by aromatic spices and a soft, mellow character.
Palate
A balanced combination of sweet and bitter citrus flavours, with warming orange and spice followed by a subtle astringency that keeps the finish clean and lively.
Serving suggestion
Add 2–3 dashes to a Dry Martini, Gin & Tonic, Vodka cocktail or Whisky-based drink. It is particularly effective in spirit-forward cocktails where the orange and spice can sit alongside the base spirit rather than being buried beneath other flavours.
It can also be used in desserts, chocolate, fudge, jams and ice cream, or wherever you would normally reach for a little orange zest.
