With the espresso martini reigning as the It Cocktail of the moment, there’s no harm in stretching your legs into other coffee-flavored libations. As one idea, why not give coffee bitters a try? McMann & Tate makes this product from a blend of medium roasted Arabica beans, cacao, and “a mix of flavorful spices, herbs, and roots.” The company also notes that its bitters are lower in alcohol, coming in at 40% abv instead of the usual 50% or higher.
