For almost 200 years, bartenders have counted a bottle of orange bitters among their essentials. Make sure your home is no different; grab this small-batch blend of bitter oranges, herbs, and spices. A tiny dash goes a long way, adding flavor to all kinds of spirits.

Scrappy's Bitters was founded by Seattle bartender Miles Thomas, a curious spirits man who learned to pair flavors in order to intensify the taste he was seeking, and came to understand that there were not only many ways to extract flavor from the same source, but that each yielded a different flavor. The journey proved fruitful: after years of experiments, Scrappy's launched in 2008 with a small team that's been handcrafting bitters in Seattle ever since.
