Did anyone in the US had the chance to get his hand on a bottle and dash it out?

Great article. I was intrigued after reading this and did some searching and discovered that Angostura Orange is now available in the US. I found it here

and ordered some. I’ve always been a fan of using Regan’s Orange #6 - can’t wait to try this.

Hello there,
I’m sorry that you haven’t got the AOB YET in the US, but while you are waiting, I’d like to share with you a coctail that comes from the European Cocktail Final in Paris.
I just thought that you could give it a go, it looks “not conventional”, but still, you’ve got the ingredients.
Cheers

I suggest everyone do what I did. Print out the photo provided with this website, go to your local dealer, show them the photo and request that they get off their butts and order some up! I can’t wait to get my hands on some! But it looks like it may be a while….November! Aaargh!

I just got into contact with some folks I know at Angostura here in the US, and apparently there has been a delay in jumping through the hoops that the FDA likes to put in front of folks. They expect the first “approved” shipment to be coming through in early November… which means in a best case scenario we’ll start seeing it sometime the end of November, with fairly broad availability the beginning of January I expect.

I have “yet” to see Angostura Orange bitters on the shelves anywhere in the US… although I have heard that some have seen it in New York.

In San Francisco, I expect that John Walker in downtown will have it as soon as they can, and no idea about Hawai’i.

If you have some place you get your normal Angostura bitters from today, go ask them when they plan on carrying the Orange Bitters. That might entice them to bring some in.

Where can I purchase Angostura Orange Bitters in San Francisco California or in Maui, Hawaii.
Thanks

Having just returned from a trip to the Bay area (San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley) which, incidentally, turned into a search for orange angostura bitters, your piece was of interest. No one in any of the stores (wine, highend grocery and food shope) had knowledge of this product even though the SF Chronicle had an article while we were there on the history of the Manhattan which suggested orange bitters as a desired ingredient. Even a couple of French caterers we encountered had never heard of it. So, as a manhattan drinker and maker (without the cherry) I Iook forward to the “new” version of this old product.
