Orange bitters
Orange bitters is a cocktail flavoring made from the peels of Seville oranges, cardamom, caraway seed, coriander and burnt sugar in an alcohol base. Orange bitters, which are not to be confused with standard Angostura bitters, are currently enjoying a resurgence among cocktail enthusiasts. For many years, it was difficult to find orange bitters in the United States and elsewhere. Because of this, some cocktail recipes which traditionally contained orange bitters may now exclude that ingredient. Fee Brothers of Rochester, New York has been producing orange bitters for many years, but distribution was limited. Renowned mixologist Gary Regan created Regan's Orange Bitters in the 1990s. Regan's Orange Bitters No. 6, which was first marketed in 2005, are bottled and sold by the Sazerac Company, whose CEO, Mark Brown, had worked with Regan to create a modern version of these bitters. Since 2006 The Bitter Truth in Germany has produced all natural orange bitters and there are now a number of different brands on the market, including Angostura Orange Bitters.
