The South African launch of ANGOSTURA® orange bitters and ANGOSTURA® cocoa bitters was a sparkling occasion with liberal dashes of dramatic flair, from the classy cocktails to the cutting-edge laser light show.

A welcome breeze of normality ushers in 2023 – we’re back to unfettered happy hours, leisurely late-night opening, and the cocktail culture going from strength to strength. While classic ingredients such as ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters are as essential to the barman’s repertoire as ever, cocktail trends are evolving with creative twists, riffs and flashes of genius that may or may not make the mainstream… beetroot Margarita anyone?

If you like Jägermeister herbal liqueur, then you’ll love these very chewy brownies. They’ll keep for five days so they’re a great make-ahead dessert. The taste actually improves with time, so plan on baking the brownies a day or two in advance.

Temperance drinks have come back in vogue and they have sugar and alcohol-free cordials to thank.

ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters is an essential component in every kitchen as it enhances the flavour of just about any dish. It is not bitter when added to food and for those who are sensitive it can even counteract the acidic components in tart dishes. In fact, in its native Trinidad and Tobago, ANGOSTURA® aromatic bitters is also added to bread, soups and marinades. So, warm up your winter dinner options with these delicious recipes to try at home.

On 24 February we celebrate one of the oldest professions… bartending of
course! Though we think of it as a modern age career, bartending can be
traced back to ancient Rome, Greece and Asia. In fact, there is record of a
bartender all the way back to when Julius Caesar ruled Rome. Along popular travel routes, you’d find drinking houses where you could rest your wary feet with a mug of ale and wine. They eventually spread into towns. In the Middle Ages, innkeepers would brew their own beer and wine which they’d serve to their guests. These became taverns and pubs where locals could share a bit of gossip with their tipple.

They say the way to one’s heart is through the stomach! And it’s a principle we hold dear here at Angostura® aromatic bitters.
