    Bitter me Up

    Convict Bitters is a lovely refreshing botanical bitter that balances well mixed with other liquors and mixers.

    The first cocktail I made using Convict Bitters was in a cocktail combining Sweet, Sour and Bitter flavours.

    The bitters came through beautifully.

    15ml convict.bitters

    20ml Pisco

    30ml Fresh Lemon Juice

    30ml Pineapple Juice

    10ml Orgeat Syrup (Homemade)

    Combine all ingredients in shaker with ice. Shake until well chilled.

    Strain into chilled Coupe Glass, garnish and enjoy.
