Bitter Bee | Cocktail Party

Bitter Bee

The Bitter Bee was suggested to us by several Cocktail Party users – and after trying one, we totally understand why! It’s a lovely drink, not the least bit bitter, tart, gently sweet, and delightfully herbal and fresh.

The Bitter Bee was created at Milk & Honey in NYC, just another entry in a long legacy of fantastic cocktails from that outfit.

If you don’t have a brown sugar cube, you can substitute a white cube or a teaspoon of dark brown sugar.

Ingredients

Instructions

In a shaker, muddle the sugar cube (or teaspoon of sugar) with the bitters and mint leaves. Add the remaining ingredients and ice and shake well. Strain into a short glass filled with crushed ice. Top with more ice, and soak the new ice with bitters (about 4 dashes). Garnish with a freshly-slapped sprig of mint.

Great drinks-great app

Great cocktail app. Very good list of drinks that actually are well made and tasty. I have used other apps that just were overloaded with tons of junk drinks. It feels like the creators of this app actually enjoyed making the drinks and decided which were good enough to add to the list. Really appreciate the perpetual updates drinks listing too. Hate paying for things more than once.
