Smoked Orange Bitters

Orange-peel bitters made by cold-smoking citrus zest over alder or pecan wood, yielding a balanced smoky-citrus profile with mild spice. Distinct from standard orange bitters: the smoke layer is a load-bearing flavor that survives swap-out (Mezcal Old Fashioneds, smoky Palomas, Mexican Firing Squad). Examples: The FareTrade, Cocktail Punk, Woodster's.
