Do you need ten different bitters to make a good drink? Absolutely not. But having three—Angostura, Peychaud’s, and orange—will let you make 90% of classic cocktails. The other 10% is for showing off at parties. And here’s the best news: a single bottle of bitters can last you years. You use just a few dashes per cocktail (like a witch adding eye of newt). So the cost per drink is basically zero. Buy the fancy bottle. Buy the one that says “Smoked Huckleberry & Absinthe.” Your cocktail will thank you, your guests will think you’re a genius, and if anyone asks where you got it, just grin mysteriously and say, “I know a guy.” You bought it online. But they don’t need to know that.
