Which term is a herbal flavoring used in cocktails; Angostura is a famous example?
Correct Answer:
Bitters
Explanation:
Bitters are concentrated herbal flavorings used in cocktails to add aroma, depth, and a touch of bitterness. They’re made from a blend of herbs, roots, bark, seeds, and spices, and only a few drops or a dash are added to a drink. Angostura is a famous and widely used example of aromatic bitters, known for its distinctive complex flavor. Because they’re used in small amounts, bitters balance sweetness, enhance other ingredients, and bring cohesion to a cocktail. A dash is a small pour, not the flavoring itself; a bar spoon is just a tool for measuring or stirring; chill refers to cooling the drink, not a flavoring.
