Embrace Autumn With Angostura

By Chilled Magazine

Made with fresh, quality ingredients, ANGOSTURA® is offering fall flair with these autumnal libations.

These easy to mix and dynamic drinks are a great way to add new options to your bar menu this season!

Using more than a dash of Angostura bitters brings dynamic layers of flavor and drama to any concoction. The three cocktails below showcase the brand’s three flavor varieties: Angostura aromatic bitters, orange bitters, and their most recent varietal, cocoa bitters. The nuanced profile of each blend unlocks unique flavor qualities in your favorite cocktails!

What flavor exemplifies fall more than apple? The Apple and Ginger Mojito is a refreshing seasonal sip. A spin on a classic, Angostura 5 Year Gold presents notes of caramel, lemon and vanilla that are complemented  by ginger and fresh lime.  Angostura Aromatic bitters ties it together with a nuanced bouquet of fruits, spices and herbs.

As the leaves turn burnt orange, saffron yellow and crimson red, an Amaroni will sweep you away with the fervor of fall. What makes this cocktail so much more dimensional than a Negroni riff? Angostura’s orange bitters adds a blend of tropical oranges, citrus oils and exotic spices that plays off of the cinnamon-infused flavors of Amaro di Angostura.

Fall is the season when you want to break into dark, aged spirits, like whiskey. Whiskey brings a feeling of warmth and coziness as the weather shifts. Bourbon typically posseses notes of vanilla, chocolate, cherry, and warming spices like cinnamon. The Gold Rush, is a bourbon-based cocktail that compliments this palate with cocoa bitters’ rich, floral, and nutty flavor profile.
