How do you make a “dash” when mixing bitters?
For bitters with a shaker top (like ours at AZBL), some say a quick, hard shake over the mixing glass puts out a “dash”. Others like to tip the bottle slowly and let gravity coax the liquid, drop by drop, out of the bottle. In this case, something like 6-8 drops are comparable to a “dash”.
