I have been astounded by the variety of bitters that are available today on the commercial market. Orange bitters are an incredible cocktail component, with a strong orange flavor and less of the bitterness you expect from something like the classic Angostura bitters.
What makes this drink a bit unique is the combination of Cointreau, orange bitters, fresh orange juice, and orange peel garnish. Enjoy this well-earned cocktail after a long day of work.
