In the last 10 years, there has been a big resurgence of interest in mixology and exotic bitters. Bartenders and home enthusiasts now frequently make their own, and there are many brands of artisanal bitters available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe carry several lines of craft-made bitters, as well as all the botanical roots and herbs you need for making your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBitters are not only useful in cocktails: try adding them to your cooking and baking for an extra punch of flavour. Bitters do contain alcohol, but as they are used in minute quantities, it is akin to using vanilla extract. As such, they are also terrific in non-alcoholic beverages. The herbal compounds are excellent for settling upset stomachs and aiding in digestion. Try a soda water with 5 dashes of bitters when you’re having an off-day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe also offer a few other cocktail-related products, including Porter’s Tonic Syrup, made right here in Calgary, as well as our “Kitchen Alchemist’s” kits for making your own gin and root beer.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2018-03-26T13:18:12-06:00","sort_order":"manual","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":true,"rules":[{"column":"type","relation":"equals","condition":"Bitters\/Cocktail Supplies"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2018-03-26T13:27:44-06:00","alt":"","width":1200,"height":1200,"src":"\/\/silkroadspices.ca\/cdn\/shop\/collections\/Bitters_collection.jpg?v=1522092464"}}]

Regans' #6 was created by mixologist/bartender/author/cocktail historian/bon vivant Gary Regan sometime in the late 20th or early 21st century. Essentially, he couldn't find an orange bitters on the market that he liked, so he set out to make one. 6 recipes later, the formula was finalized and it went into production by the Sazerac Company at the Buffalo Trace Distillery. It looks old, but it's young. And delicious.
The flavour is of bitter orange peel and spice, specifically cardamom. Great in all manner of cocktails for those who prefer a spicier orange rather than a juicier, sweeter orange flavour like the Fee Brothers version.
