One that is so esoteric and complex, I reckon you may never come back. :D I know it confuses the hell out of me. Your "simplification" of bitters usage is where I like to keep things: simple. It pleases 99% of the people. However, all of these other fancy bitters can be used somewhat interchangeably. They add a little bit of a kick or boost to a cocktail or base spirit. Think of it as having 20 different Old Fashioneds (black walnut old fashioned sounds good) and go from there. [ Edited by: jingleheimerschmidt 2011-08-10 15:09 ]
