What is a “Dash Of Bitters?”
Dashes not Drops
A dash of bitters is not a drop of bitters. Bitters are strong but not that strong.
A “dash” is about 15 drops or 1 squeeze of the bulb of the dropper. It should fill the dropper half way up.
If you have a larger bottle with no glass dropper, 1 shake of the bottle over a drink is a dash.
For a balanced cocktail, use dashes not drops.
