Grapefruit Bitters

Bittermens Hopped Grapefruit Bitters might be the single best product in this category — they add a pithy, citrusy bitterness that wakes up gin and tequila drinks instantly. A few dashes in a Paloma or a grapefruit Martini takes it from good to outstanding. Scrappy’s also makes a solid grapefruit bitters with a slightly different profile. Unlike Angostura, these are specialty bitters you reach for when a recipe specifically calls for citrus depth. They’re particularly good in anything with mezcal or aged tequila.
