Bitters, often overlooked in cocktail recipes, are crucial for enhancing flavors and creating balance in drinks. Experts like Marshall Minaya and Florian Thireau emphasize the various roles bitters play, from adding complex botanical notes to improving the aromatic experience, contributing to the drinkâs structure. The range of bitters has expanded, presenting a unique opportunity for home bartenders to experiment and explore. With their ability to transform simple cocktails into sophisticated beverages, bitters stand out as essential components in modern mixology.
"Bitters are the seasoning of a cocktail... they enhance and amplify the flavors in a drink, highlighting or introducing complementary notes that tie the cocktail together."
"They add concentrated botanical flavors... that enhance rather than dominate, contributing significant aromatic compounds that enhance the drinking experience through smell, often being the first impression of a cocktail."
