Hemant Pathak, general manager, Junoon , NYC “Bitter ingredients have always been one of my favorites to work and experiment with, and as much as I love recommending different digestifs for guests to sip on after dinner, I really appreciate taking that further and using amari or bitters as major cocktail components.
