What are bitters used for?
Bitters are an alcohol infusion of herbs and spices and other flavors used as a flavoring in drinks and certain recipes. The flavor profile for bitters can vary so widely that the uses depend greatly on the taste and flavoring. Bitters are highly concentrated, so most recipes require only a dash or two.
Is there alcohol in bitters?
Bitters contain alcohol. There is about 35 to 45 percent alcohol in one bottle of bitters; however, since most cocktails and drinks call for only a dash or two, bitters add very little alcohol to a drink. Bitters are often labeled as non-alcoholic even though they are made from alcohol since the amount used in drinks is so nominal.
What can I use in place of bitters for a cocktail?
Bitters give many classic cocktails their traditional taste. Finding replacements for bitters in many cocktails is impossible if you want an exact replica. Depending on the flavor of bitters you’re trying to replicate, you may find a similar substitute, but the aromatic nature of bitters is hard to recreate. You may use citrus peel in place of orange bitters or certain flavored liqueurs like Campari in place of other aromatic bitters.
