SUMMER SIPPER
This unique summer beverage is made with mint, angostura bitters, ginger ale and yuzu juice. Yuzu is a citrus fruit commonly used in Japanese cooking — if you can’t find yuzu juice, lemon juice will work. To make an alcoholic version of this drink, simply add a splash of vodka.
Yield: Serves 10.

Angostura bitters were first used as a digestive aid. Today, they are more commonly used for flavouring beverages and foods, and they are also an important ingredient in many cocktails. When added to a beverage or dish, they do not add bitterness but instead act as a flavour enhancer for the other ingredients. Angostura bitters are sold in a small bottle and usually found in the aisle where beverages or carbonated beverages are sold in grocery stores.
