Flavour notes of sour cherry, cinnamon and clove with a bitter punch from the gentian root. Works well as an all-round addition to most cocktails such as an Old Fashioned or a Whisky Sour.

OLD FASHIONED

• 50 ml whisky
• 1 tsp caster sugar
• 4-5 dashes of our No. 1 Aromatic Bitters
• 1 orange
• ice (large cubes work best)

Add the sugar and bitters to your glass along with a splash of hot water. Stir your mix till until you have dissolved the sugar and let it cool a little. Add the whisky and ice and stir. Cut a piece of orange peel (about the size of your thumb) and twist it over the glass to add a spritz of orange oil to the surface of your drink. Drop the peel into your drink and stir once more.
