Created in the United States by Gary Regan and Mardee Haidin Regan, this bitters is produced by Sazerac Company and has become a modern benchmark for orange bitters. Developed to recreate a more complex, pre-Prohibition style, it combines bitter orange peel with a broad range of spices and botanicals, offering greater depth than simpler citrus bitters. It is widely used in both classic and contemporary cocktail recipes.
The formulation relies on the infusion of dried orange peel alongside spices such as cardamom, coriander, and cinnamon, creating a layered aromatic profile. Designed to be used in small quantities, it enhances structure and balance rather than acting as a primary flavour. Positioned in the premium bitters category, it is valued for its versatility and precision, making it a staple behind the bar.
