Last year I found a new hobby bitters I like reading about bitters, viewing recipes about bitters and I even made one bitters myself. I found bitters looking for an indigestion recipe. Very old remedy was sparkling soda water and one or two drops of Angostura bitters.
Curious if anyone else is into bitters ? Do you have any favorites? Where I live I have seen only Angostura in the shops. Before buying online looking for some tips on which bitters to get online ?

Probably best known in the US after Angostura is Peychaud's, made since 1830 in Louisiana, and essential to a Sazerac cocktail. Similar to Angostura but lighter and sweeter in taste and with a red color. Peychaud's Bitters - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fee Brothers, sin 1874, Rochester, NY has a very extensive line of bitters... including Lemon, Peach, Grapefruit, Cherry, Celery, Black Walnut... and my thre faves: West Indian Orange, Mint, and Aztec Chocolate (. Chill some vodka, add a few drops of these bitters, and voila! You have a cocktail! They also make mixers and cordials. Available through Amazon if you can't find them locally.

Fernet Branca is a bitter Italian cordial, sometimes used as a bitter in cocktail recipes, but commonly drunk by itself, as a digestif.
