All The Bitter Orange Cardamom Bitters
All The Bitter Orange Cardamom Bitters are bright, citrusy and gently spiced, with orange peel at the forefront and cardamom, coriander, caraway and warm spice adding aromatic depth. Gentian and dandelion root bring the bitterness, while lemon balm and ginger keep things fresh and lively. Handmade in small batches from whole botanicals, these 0% ABV bitters have enough citrus to brighten a drink and enough spice to give it proper structure.
Why We Love It
These may be the most versatile bottle in the All The Bitter lineup. Orange is the first impression, but the cardamom, coriander and caraway keep it from becoming one-note or overly citrusy. Founders Carly and Ian met while working as sommeliers at The French Laundry, and their knack for balance is easy to taste here. A few dashes can sharpen a Margarita, wake up a Negroni or add another layer to an Old Fashioned. We also love them in sparkling water when the occasion calls for something exceedingly simple that still tastes considered.
How to Drink All The Bitter Orange Cardamom Bitters
Add a few dashes to a Margarita, Paloma, Martini, Negroni, Manhattan or Old Fashioned. They’re particularly useful anywhere citrus is already part of the drink, adding the aromatic quality of orange peel without adding sweetness. For an easy serve, add several dashes to sparkling water over plenty of ice and finish with a generous orange peel.
Cheeky & Dry Signature Serve — Orange Cardamom Margarita: Combine 2 oz non-alcoholic tequila, ¾ oz fresh lime juice, ½ oz agave syrup and 4–5 dashes All The Bitter Orange Cardamom Bitters in a shaker with ice. Shake well and strain over fresh ice into a rocks glass with a lightly salted rim. Finish with a lime wheel. The bitters do the work orange liquéur often does in a Margarita, bringing citrus, spice and complexity without piling on more sweetness.
