Regan's Orange Bitters No. 6 – 10oz | Classic Orange Bitters for Cocktails

Discover Regan's Orange Bitters No. 6

In the late 1990s, orange bitters were scarce, and cocktail pioneer Gaz Regan sought a bottle that could elevate citrus nuances in classic drinks. Regan's Orange Bitters No. 6 is the result: a 10-ounce bottle that captures a bright citrus presence tempered by warm spice, designed to sit neatly on any home or professional bar.

Rooted in a recipe inspired by Charles Baker's 1930s The Gentleman's Companion, this blend evolved through dedicated experimentation and a collaboration with The Sazerac Company. The final formula blends orange zest with cardamom, cinchona, caraway, coriander, cinnamon, clove, gentian, and quassia to offer depth that complements a wide range of spirits and liqueurs.

Aroma and flavor you can rely on

The scent leans toward sunlit citrus with peppery, woody undertones. On the palate, a delicate citrus core is brightened by spices, delivering a nuanced profile that can soften sharp notes in a cocktail while maintaining its character.

• Bright orange zest paired with warming spices for a layered aroma
• Signature complexity from a spice blend including cinnamon, clove, and cardamom
• Versatile enough to enhance both sweet and spirit-forward drinks

• Ideal for Manhattans and a wide variety of cocktails
