What it is
Margarita Bitters are a specialized type of bitters designed to enhance the flavors of tequila and lime, the primary ingredients in a classic Margarita cocktail. These bitters often incorporate citrus and herbal notes, which complement the drink's refreshing profile.

Citrusy, herbal, slightly bitter
How it is made
Margarita Bitters are typically made from a blend of high-proof alcohol, botanicals, and flavoring agents such as citrus peels, herbs, and spices. The ingredients are steeped together to extract their flavors, resulting in a concentrated liquid that is used in small dashes to enhance cocktails.
History
Bitters have a long history dating back to ancient times when they were used for medicinal purposes. Margarita Bitters, specifically, emerged as a popular cocktail enhancement in the 20th century, coinciding with the rise of tequila-based cocktails. Their unique flavor profile has made them a staple in modern mixology.
In cocktails
Bartenders typically use Margarita Bitters in small dashes to enhance the flavor of Margaritas and other tequila-based cocktails. They can also be added to other drinks to provide a citrusy and herbal note, making them versatile in cocktail creation. When serving, a few dashes can elevate the drink's complexity without overpowering the primary flavors.
Worth knowing
Margarita Bitters can also be used in non-alcoholic beverages to add complexity and flavor without the alcohol.
