1. I didn't realize other companies made bitters.

I've only ever seen Angostura bitters.

2. There's so much bitterness there was bound to be more than one bottler...

I used to see Angostura ads in a particular men's magazine that was associated with bunnies...I only read it for the liquor ads. Honest!

4. Me too

I like Bitters with lemon and soda.

3. But real Floridians like 'key limes' with their bitters...

1/8 to 1/4 cup Bacardi rum (1/8 cup for my sister and I, 1/4 cup for everyone else)
2 - 4 splashes of bitters
juice from 1 key lime, maybe a little more
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves washed and dried
2 - 3 tsp sugar (it's a bit to taste)
10 oz bottle of tonic water already cold
crushed ice

:toast:

5. That sounds great for a hot afternoon!

Up here in Wisconsin we might, or might not, have one of those this summer.
