How it is made
Cherry bitters are typically made by infusing a neutral spirit with cherry flavoring and a blend of botanicals, which may include herbs, spices, and other flavoring agents. The infusion process extracts the flavors and aromas, resulting in a concentrated liquid that is then bottled for use in cocktails.
History
The use of bitters in cocktails dates back to the 19th century, with cherry bitters emerging as a popular flavoring agent in the late 1800s. Originally used for medicinal purposes, bitters quickly found their way into the cocktail scene, where they became essential for balancing flavors. Cherry bitters gained popularity due to their unique ability to complement a wide range of spirits and mixers.
In cocktails
Bartenders use cherry bitters to add complexity to cocktails, often incorporating them into classic recipes like the Old Fashioned or Manhattan. A few dashes can transform a drink, enhancing the overall flavor without overpowering it. They can also be used in non-alcoholic beverages for a sophisticated touch. When serving, it's best to use them sparingly, as their concentrated flavor can quickly dominate a cocktail.
Worth knowing
Cherry bitters can also be used in culinary applications, such as enhancing sauces or desserts.
