Man, that looks good Lance! The pic is nice too. Did you purposely take the shot slightly out of focus or are you overdoing the bitters?
Cheers

Thanks David, no, it is just the use of a couple of Photoshop filters & I just used two shakes of the bitters.

not a fan of the stirrings blood orange bitters. the product tastes watery, is not spicy, and the orange flavor is weak.

Your are correct, The Stirrings is somewhat weaker and I find you need to use more to get that kick of flavor
but in combination with a muddled orange slice in an "Old Fashioned" I think it works
I like it also when making a Blood Orange Mai Tai, but it does not replace stronger bitters in other cocktails.
