¿Qué es Dash Angostura Bitters?
Angostura Bitters is a highly concentrated aromatic bitter, invented in Venezuela in 1824 and now produced in Trinidad and Tobago. It is made from water, alcohol, a proprietary blend of herbs and spices, and gentian root, known for its distinct bitter taste. Primarily used in cocktails, it also finds application in various culinary dishes to add depth and complexity.
"Despite its alcoholic base, Angostura Bitters is almost always used in such small quantities that its contribution is purely flavor, not potency, making it a powerful non-alcoholic flavor enhancer in most applications."
