The Start Of A Bitters Bottle Collection

I like old bitters bottles.

I’ve got the start of a little collection going, which is just this fernet-style bottle and an Underberg as well as some of the more mainstream and traditional brands.

I’m going to an auction at a bar today and then up to Buffalo, so if I see anything neat (bitters or otherwise) at either the auction or some stores, I’ll post here if its cocktails related. Hopefully I’ll hit up a worthwhile antique shop.

Antique Mixology: Lash’s Bitters

I spotted this antique bitters bottle while antique shopping in Salamanca, N.Y.

A quick Google search turned up this historical site about the bottle as well as this site about the antique glass/bitters bottles market.

Neat stuff. Might have to make another trip out to Salamanca to get this.
