Lemon bitters

Bottle of lemon bitters for cocktail recipes

Lemon bitters are a great way to bring a bright citrus flavor to drinks – we particularly like ’em with drinks that already have some fresh lemon, or gin drinks.

There are quite a few different types of lemon bitters, from crisp one-note flavors to smoky Middle Eastern-inspired takes.

If you’ve got a bumper crop of lemons, you can even make your own bitters. SeriousEats.com has a great recipe for Meyer lemon bitters that you can adapt to whatever kind of lemon you have, or even use other citrus to make your own custom blend.

Really Good App

We downloaded the app after seeing it as one of the top posts on /r/cocktails, and we've been playing around with it and adding our ingredients to the list. While it's not an all inclusive list of ingredients (missing some creme de ), it's a solid overall app and tosses out some truly spectacular recipes based on what you have in your liquor cabinet. Minor quibbles for an otherwise fantastic application!
