As I've learned more about classic cocktails like the sazerac, sidecar, and old fashioned to name a few, I've wanted to do whatever I can to perfect them when I make them at home. Knowing that fresh, homemade pasta is better than a box, I figured the same had to apply to a bitter.
We've already established I like a good deal, so it should come as no surprise that I couldn't resist the Groupon for a "make your own bitters lesson" at the Georgetown Spice and Tea Exchange. This store smelled amazing with a wall of such fragrant spices and herbs. I may have came home with a purchase or two.
