Cocktails with Walnut bitters
Walnut bitters is a cocktail bitters whose defining flavouring is walnut, used in small amounts to add a nutty aromatic accent.
ABV Bottled at a high strength (this product 44% ABV), though the contribution to a finished drink is negligible because it is used only in dashes.
Taste profile
Pronounced walnut aroma over a medium bitter edge, with a dry nutty finish.
How it's used
Dosed in dashes as an aromatic seasoning, it lends nutty character to a build without being measured as a base or consumed neat.
Substitutes for Walnut bitters
Another walnut-flavoured bitters is the only true match; a generic aromatic bitters will rebuild the bitter edge but cannot supply the walnut aroma that defines the ingredient.
Description
Walnut bitters takes its character from walnut infused in a water-and-alcohol base, where the alcohol extracts the botanical matter and preserves the concentrate; like other named styles of bitters, it is built around a single defining flavouring rather than a broad botanical blend.
