I'm back from vacation and it looks like this community died while I was away 😭. Not to worry, my husband turned into a mad scientist and decided he needed to make angostura ice cream. Is it a cocktail? Probably not, but I'll let you decide. If you want to give this a try without making homemade ice cream, you can just top some vanilla ice cream in angostura bitters and enjoy!

Thanks everyone for being respectful while I was away! I need to get a new mod buddy before my next vacation 🀣. I'll post an actual real cocktail soon.

That looks bittersweet

How much bitters did you put in the batch? I love bitters and would love to try this!

I asked my husband and he said "Noooo it's not ready yet!" And he refused to tell me. So I apologize for the disappointing answer, but I'll post a recipe as soon as he thinks it's "ready". I can tell you that he added a tiny bit of almond extract which made it extra delicious!

I'd imagine a few dashes to a bowl if you're gonna just throw it in some pre-made. Then scale that up to however many servings in a pint or half gallon or whatever. Maybe a couple teaspoons? Gonna depend in how much you want it to stand out.

I guess I know what I'm doing with the leftover heavy cream from last night's soup! Maybe if I throw in a little orange zest...

Then again... I may just cut out the extra steps and make an old fashioned...
