Trader Vic's bartender's guide has a whole bunch of recipes that include orange bitters. The large number of recipes led me to buy what an unscrupulous Dutch bartender assured me was Orange Bitters, but turned out to be a n obscure Orange liqueur, drunk on the Queen of Holland's Birthday!

Unfortunately, many recipes in the book involve gin, which I know you're not that keen on.

Here's one picked at random:
Captain Kidd

1 oz Jamaican Rum
half oz dry sherry
half oz Scotch
1 tsp bar sugar
1 dash orange bitters
Shake well with cracked ice, strain into chilled cocktail glass.
