Cocktails with Cardamom bitters
Cardamom bitters is a cocktail bitters flavored chiefly with cardamom, added in dashes for aroma and balance.
ABV44%The alcohol is negligible in the drink, since bitters are used only in dashes.
How it's used
Warm, spiced cardamom. Two dashes are as much as most drinks take before the spice starts to lead. It sits well with rum and citrus, and with coffee.

Use dash for dash. Fee Brothers' is gentler.
Without bitters, muddle one pod in place of two dashes. Fine-strain the cocktail. A tiny pinch of ground cardamom works too, but it leaves grit unless strained.
For two dashes, use a dash of Angostura with a small pinch of cardamom. Fine-strain to catch the grit.
Use a barspoon in place of the same amount of plain syrup, if there is any, rather than on top of it.
