Time to taste the next most popular category of cocktail bitters: citrus/orange. This dynamic blend of heroes works well in gin, vodka and lighter spirits when building cocktails. While aromatics work (or a combination of them), there are typically citrus/orange bitters in those style of drinks. Today, we blind test a few brands and figure out what some of the key differences can be in them.

A very aromatic cocktail with a dry finish. This cocktail has tons of flavor, for a champagne cocktail, and will blow your senses but you have to be a little bit okay with champagne in a cocktail and an off-dry cocktail.

The Pirate Sunrise uses some new grenadine we just recently got from Liber & Co and should give you a bit of a "sunrise" effect. But, being that it has Spiced Rum, it's a pirate sunrise instead! You can work the magic on the sunrise design, but it won't effect the change to taste, this is going deep in the facehole.

Viniq Shimmery Liqueur could be the most amazing looking vodka-based spirit on the planet right now. But, does that make it taste good? Their website states, "When fused with Premium Vodka, Moscato, and Natural Fruit Flavors, this tasteless, odorless pearly color is what elevates Viniq to the complete package." While Jennifer and Ian believe Viniq has a lot of grape flavor, Derrick found peach to be the predominant flavor profile. What do you think Viniq tastes like for those that have found this product in the store and became mesmerized by its shimmery nature? You will also find Viniq holds its shimmer when other spirits are brought into the "mix" as well, including Blue Curacao.

Today we checkout the new Captain Morgan 1671 Limited Edition and do a little comparison on flavor against their prior Limited Edition, Sherry Cask. Save a bottle of both Limited for your special occasions because they are definitely being played up as limited. It wasn't a marketing ploy to get you to buy sooner...it really is limited. If you like butterscotch notes you'll probably be happy with the 1671 even if the finish is a bit boring as compared to, what we consider a superior spiced rum: Limited Edition Sherry Cask. But, it's also not a bad product to add to your growing bar.

Here is a great spin on the French 75, it's called the French 95 and it has bourbon with the champagne. We also ponder why you can't tickle yourself. This cocktail has a nice bourbon flavor, a dry finish and the champagne isn't fully lost but also isn't forward flavored. This is much like a mimosa with bourbon with a bit more depth and character than a mimosa. A little lingering bourbon oak after the finish subsides.

If you like Champagne then you may like this cocktail, if you don't like champagne...same rules apply. This cocktail has licor 43 so it can only make champagne better. This cocktail is very delicate on flavor and can be messed up easy if you add too many ingredients. It's a vanilla, orange and lime flavor against that of champagne. A good brunch drink.

A twist on the traditional white Russian (a milk based cocktail) by bringing in a vodka modifier with coconut. An easy drink with a nice twist that doesn't get too crazy. Might fit those college kids that are looking to save some money and not have drinks with tons of ingredients.

You like cocktails with banana? You like cocktails that will peal the paint off your car? You got the Getting for your needs. We decide to create this cocktail twice, one with bitters and one without because we felt it was going to need some "help" ahead of time. Turns out, the bitters made it better, but not that great.

Today we bring out the vodka collins, nothing too exciting about a vodka collins in overall flavor (like intense lemonade) but we did find a way to make it better so let's taste first, and try experimentation. Lemon and alcohol, in your face refreshing; definitely a sour cocktail. The second half of this episode turned into "how can I use bitters to make a cocktail better", with show and tell.

Here is a flavorful little number, the shark repellant cocktail has a great color with nice pineapple body with citrus that is both sour and sweet without any real alcohol burn. The closest comparison is a pineapple lemonade, if such a thing exists. Adding coconut would simply ruin this cocktail by making it taste like every other tropical cocktail.
