A bitter is an alcoholic beverage that contains herbal essences, has a bitter or bittersweet flavor, and is typically flavored with citrus. There are numerous brands of bitters, which were formerly marketed as patent medicines but are now considered to be digestifs rather than medicines. Bitters are principally used as digestifs and as flavorings in cocktails. Bitters commonly have an alcoholic strength of up to 45% ABV but are normally consumed only in small amounts as a digestif or when added as a flavoring agent (similar to vanilla flavoring, which is also dissolved in alcohol). In the United Kingdom, Angostura bitters are not classified as an alcoholic beverage due to their bitter taste, and they can be bought by a person of any age.
