▲ 4 ▼ Where in WPG: Looking for fancy cocktail ingredients - bitters, etc. (lemmy.ca) submitted 3 years ago by troyunrau@lemmy.ca [M] to c/winnipeg@lemmy.ca 12 comments fedilink hide all child comments Is there a store that sells a wide variety of bitters? Liquormart effectively has Angostura in three varieties, and Fernet Branca but that's it

Might be worth a call. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca [S] 3 points 3 years ago Secondary reply, only so it hits your inbox. I visited their store, and that's a very interesting little business. They've got a little tasting bar at the back, and I tried a couple of faux-tequilas and bought a bottle. It's funny - I got into the car afterwards and had that burning sensation in my mouth like I'd just lined up three shots of tequila at the bar, except I was good to drive! Such are the interesting effects of the spices they used. They had one brand of bitters, just not the one I wanted. Nevertheless, I really appreciate the recommendation. Certainly our DD will appreciate it too, being able to participate in our cocktail night :) permalink fedilink source parent [–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca [S] 2 points 3 years ago Just checked their website, at your prompting, and they have some small batch bitters.
