Bitters origins traced to Angostura and Siegert
L M Boyd notes bitters were named after Angostura Venezuela and invented by German Dr Johann Siegert to boost soldiers’ appetites in 1824. He recalls bitters in schnapps in West Germany and jokes about hair, socialites, and a pig’s gestation, ending with Boyd’s Weatherford address and 1976 copyright.
