Mint bitters

 
I forgot to mention one thing in yesterday's review of the Italian beer tasting we attended in NYC.

I began the evening with a lovely cocktail of Michter's Straight Rye, ginger ale, a wedge of lime and a few shakes of mint bitters. Yes, mint bitters. From Fee Brothers.

It was a most delicious cocktail.  Reminicent of a mint julep, but ya know...different.

And different is cool.  Especially when it comes to cocktails.  Give mint bitters a try if you wanna shake up your cocktail.  I thought it was pretty damn cool.

  8. 2abes - for some reason, mint seems to go well with whiskey.

    Savannah - it won't let you down.

    Wil - and poor Joseph died awful young.
