There! Fixed it for you!

LOL! Oh, c'mon! Did you see Phinz' rum selection on the rum inventory thread?

I also have on hand but rarely use:
Blood Orange bitters (Stirrings)

I grabbed 2-3 bottles when they were on clearance at my local Williams-Sonoma. Haven't opened them yet...what'd ya think of these?

P.S. I store all my perishable fluids :wink: with a Vac-U-Vin stopper.

It's non-alcholic bitters, and doesn't seem to have the concentration of flavor you'd expect from Angostura or Peychauds, or probably Fee Bros. I've hardly used it and, unfortunately, I think it's now taken a turn for the worse. Definitely doesn't have the shelf life of bitters with alcohol. All in all, not really worth buying, at least not for me anyway. Next time I'm in the US, I'll try to find another kind of orange bitters, maybe Angostura or Regan's (anyone tried this one?). Those are what they have at the BevMo near my folks' place in Arizona.
