@MattC- Bitters and soda. If the bartender goes huh? Say Soda Water and Bitters. Bitters is a common addition to some drinks.

Wanted to bump this thread - I have been rocking bitters + soda since reading this thread back in 2012.

Beyond just ordering in a bar, I find myself drinking bitters + soda at home very often. It's a great drink when you are cooking, hanging around your pad, and even better when you are getting ready to go out for the night.

I feel like it sharpens my mind and wakes me up before I head out for a night, which is better than resorting to something like redbull or a highly caffeinated soda.

There are also a number of "handcrafted" bitters showing up on the market, like these two below, which you can order online. It is a cool collection to start and a good conversation starter when you have guests over:

Moscow Mule, cause it comes in a fancy copper container. Mojito, cause it makes my breath smell good and I prefer rum to vodka. Both are full of sugar though.
