Product information

For the better guarantee of product authenticity of this aromatic bitters the label on every bottle bears the facsimile of the signature of Dr. J.G.B. Siegert. There are other aromatic bitters but only one Angostura® aromatic bitters, the brand name under which Dr. J.G.B. Siegert and his successors have sold their product throughout the world since 1830. It does not contain Angostura Bark but derives its name from the fact that it originated in the town of Angostura, Venezuela, renamed Ciudad Bolivar in 1846.

Angostura® aromatic bitters was first made in 1824 and may be distinguished from all other aromatic bitters by its fine flavour and aromatic odour. Produced in Port of Spain, Trinidad, W.I. by Angostura Limited from the original formula, Angostura® aromatic bitters has become famous throughout the world and has received the highest recognition at the principal International Exhibitions.

Because of its delightful flavour and aroma it has become extremely popular for use in soft drinks, cocktails and other alcoholic beverages. It also imparts an exquisite flavour to soups, salads, vegetables, gravies, fish, meat, fruit-juices, jellies, sherbets, ice-cream, and all similar desserts, regulating the quantity according to taste.

Magic Ingredients

Thankfully, it’s a magic ingredient for aromatic cocktails and pink gin, also to spice up soft drinks and cooking with spice & herbal infusions for just few dashes, so it’s quite long-lasting and more than just an alcohol-based herbal tincture, which is lovely. However, as others mentioned that the over-sized label, which hasn’t even attached to the bottle entirely from the beginning, would be rather short-lasting... but it warns us that would not be genuine without the signature on the label, even when it got shabby, so the over-sized label is a little awkward to keep nicely for a long time, even though it’s easily peeled off for recycling. It’s like a long lived soul in a short life paper body... that’s philosophically deep! I personally enjoy pink gin tonic rather relaxing with several dashes of this Angostura Aromatic Bitters along with an organic Ceylon cinnamon quill, star anise and lime. I have also made my own alcohol-based herbal infusions before though, this one is well-balanced and so quick and easy, as it may take few months or years to make own herbal infusions. Colouring might be unnecessary, but it had been known for such a long for pink gin, so hesitating to deduct any points for tradition at the moment., but if there’s any other healthier option, it’ll be the best.

Best grown up no low alcohol drink

Mix a big slug of this with a tonic water and it has the seriousness of a proper alcoholic drink. Real contender to a G&T (and I'm very fond of G&T...)

Bitters for everything

I grew up (in country of origin) using this in everything we drank and cooked. I add to all my fruit juices and my meats. Makes such a difference. Really grateful this is stocked here also.

love this stuff

The only bitters that is easily available. Very versatile in cocktails and non alcoholic drinks. Try sparkling water, lime cordial and angostura over ice for a lovely long drink. The label is the same one that they have used for decades and because of that I can forgive that it is too long for the bottle. Everyone should have this in their cupboard.

great for champagne cocktails

As above (you only need sparking wine) for an excellent cocktail. Also a few drops in a glass of slimline tonic with ice is an excellent no calorie, no alcohol drink. The bottle lasts for ever!
