SWILL IT: BETTER BITTERS SWILL IT

Better Bitters
For the tastiest drinks, make your own flavored
bitters. BY DIANE GILLELAND
Bitters add a little depth and mystery to the flavor of cock-
tails and nonalcoholic drinks. You can buy them in most
supermarkets, but why not make your own? It’s so easy,
and you can experiment with all kinds of flavors.

You can follow this bitters recipe, find a recipe online, or create something of your own. It’s important to have at least one bittering agent in the mix, like gentian or quassia. Aside from that, you can have fun mixing various flavors. It’s a great way to make your party beverages truly special!
