Our lizard brain may be screaming danger, but our humanness wants to take the chance and risk it, just for another sip of bourbon and bitters to see if it really is dangerous.

JGB Siegert created Angostura bitters to cure malaria and stomach ailments for soldiers in 1824. He created them in the city Angostura in Venezuela but his formulation didn’t have angostura bark in them. Siegert was a shrewd businessman. He sued companies using angostura in their name (even though there is a bark angostura that can be used in bitters). From the history it appears he sued many other bitters companies out of business. I love using chocolate bitters with whiskey,” says Turzyn. “I find the chocolate bitters complement whiskey and offer notes of cherry, walnut, cardamom, and vanilla bean, which play off the oak beautifully."While most bitters brands are small-batch, a good rule of thumb is to look for bitters that use local or thoughtfully sourced herbs. Collecting bitters is one of my favorite things to do. As you can see by the photos here, I have built up quite a collection. This is only about… maybe a third of my collection!

You’re most likely familiar with Angostura bitters, the paper-wrapped bottle that lines many a bar shelf. But there are other bitters options available to customize your drink of choice.

Eyedropper: A dropper lets you control how many drops of bitters you want to use. You can simply add a single drop or fill the entire dropper to add a dash.

How to Make Your Own Bitters

Native tribes, most notably Kwakwaka’wakw, used other parts of the plant for medicinal purposes, such as poultices and bark infusions. Modern bitters started in the late 1700s to early 1800s as health cures. In Colonial times in America, they were your medicine cabinet, or your pharmacy that cured what ailed you. These extracts were invariably bitter and it’s likely some were safer than others. Some snake oil cures likely fell in this category. Maple syrup: I know it sounds unusual, but trust us – it's fantastic in this recipe! It adds just the right amount of sweetness, while also contributing an earthy, caramel-y flavor that blends beautifully with bourbon. You can also use simple syrup if preferred. Be sure to use real maple syrup, NOT pancake syrup.

Like vanilla extract, bitters contain alcohol, and both are very potent —you wouldn’t want to drink either one plain.
