Dandelion & Burdock Bitters by Adam Elmegirab

Released in the winter of 2009, Dandelion & Burdock Bitters are a unique,
hand-crafted cocktail ingredient created by Adam Elmegirab to satisfy the
global bar community’s growing demand for new and exciting products.

Dandelion & Burdock is a traditional British beverage dating back to
the 1300s and is believed to have been created by the Italian priest Saint
Thomas Aquinas. They were famed for their alleged medicinal properties,
like the many cocktail bitters that followed in later years, and were a
favourite drink of Adam during his childhood.

Referencing a number of Dandelion & Burdock receipts, these bitters
attempt to capture their flavour profile in bitters formulae. Compounded
using the finest natural botanicals, these bitters are now being used by
bartenders around the globe in a number of classic cocktails and original
libations such as the Chiapas Old Fashioned, created by Adam Elmegirab
for Yatai in 2009;

50ml reposado Tequila
12.5ml green tea infused sugar syrup
2 dashes Dandelion & Burdock Bitters
Strip white grapefruit zest

Stir until ice cold and strain over ice into a chilled
