I like bitters. I love the Trinidad Sour, which has an ounce of Angostura. Maybe I am just not a huge fan of Peychaud's but I think the Seelbach Cocktail overdoes it on the bitters. I'd rather have a French 75 made with gin or cognac the next time I want a sparkling cocktail.
Seelbach Cocktail
- 1 ounce bourbon (Lazy River)
- 1/2 ounce triple sec (Cointreau)
- 7 dashes Angostura bitters
- 7 dashes Peychaud's bitters
- 1/2 ounce sparkling wine
Stir bourbon, triple sec, Angostura bitters, and Peychaud's bitters over ice; pour into a champagne flute; top with sparkling wine; garnish with an orange twist.
