REGANS' NO. 6 Orange Bitters No. 6 Cocktail Bitters, 10 oz — Concentrated Citrus-Spice Flavor for Old Fashioned & Cocktails

Regan's Orange Bitters No. 6 is a 10-ounce bottle of concentrated orange-based cocktail bitters designed to add aromatic citrus-spice depth to classic mixed drinks.

Created by cocktail author Gaz Regan from a vintage recipe, Orange Bitters No. 6 blends bittering botanicals with bright orange zest and warming spices to lift and round cocktails. This 10-ounce format is larger than typical 5–10 ml bottles used by home bartenders, making it a practical option for frequent mixologists, bars, and at-home enthusiasts who prefer to keep a fuller supply on hand.

How will these bitters change my Old Fashioned or Manhattan?

A few dashes of Regan's No. 6 add a layered citrus brightness and subtle spice that balances sugar and boozy warmth, enlivening classic drinks without overpowering them. The bitters provide nuance: orange oil for lift, bitter botanicals for backbone, and spice notes for complexity.

• Enhances citrus aroma and adds a clean bitter finish
• Spices like cinnamon and clove introduce warm midtones
• Concentrated formula means a little goes a long way

What flavor components are in this recipe?

Regan's No. 6 is built from a blend of orange peel and a set of bittering and aromatic ingredients. The recipe balances sweet-sour citrus oils with bitter roots and warming spices to create a multi-dimensional profile suited to aromatizing spirits and cocktails.

• Orange zest and orange oil for bright citrus notes
• Cinchona, gentian, and quassia providing the bitter backbone
• Cardamom, coriander, caraway, cinnamon, and clove for spice and warmth

How much should I use and how is the 10-ounce bottle different?

Bitters are highly concentrated: start with one to three dashes and adjust to taste. The 10-ounce bottle contains a larger volume than standard miniature bitters bottles, reducing refill frequency and offering better value for heavy users or small bars.

• Begin with 1–2 dashes for cocktails, increase as preferred
• 10-ounce size suitable for regular entertaining or bar use
• 45% ABV preserves the extract and helps it integrate with spirits

How should I store and use this product for best results?

Store the bottle upright in a cool, dark place to preserve aromatics; avoid prolonged direct sunlight. Use a few dashes in stirred or shaken cocktails, and try a drop in nonalcoholic syrups or in culinary applications where a bitter-citrus lift is welcome.

• Keep cap tight and store away from heat and light
• Shake gently before use if sediments form
• Experiment by adding to syrups, sauces, or desserts for subtle depth

Who is this for? Regan's Orange Bitters No. 6, in its 10-ounce presentation, is aimed at cocktail lovers who value authentic, vintage-inspired flavor and want a dependable supply on hand. It's ideal for home mixologists hosting frequent gatherings, professional bartenders in small venues, and anyone looking to refine classics like the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or gin-based cocktails. If you appreciate a citrus-driven bitter with layered spices and a concentrated format that reduces refill interruptions, this bottle is a practical and flavorful choice.
