As the craft cocktail movement has revived interest in bitters, peach bitters have found a renewed place in modern mixology.
In cocktails
Bartenders use peach bitters to add depth and complexity to cocktails. A few dashes can enhance the flavor of a whiskey sour, gin fizz, or even a fruit-forward spritz. When serving, it's important to remember that bitters are potent; a little goes a long way. They can also be used in non-alcoholic beverages to add flavor without the need for additional sweetness.
