There's much more depth, richness and enthusiam in the flavor.

I highly doubt VABC is getting something as awesome as Fee Brothers and Central doesn't carry bitters. What boozy Valhalla am I missing out on? Hey SeanMike,

What friendly neighborhood liquor store are you using. I highly doubt VABC is getting something as awesome as Fee Brothers and Central doesn’t carry bitters.

What boozy Valhalla am I missing out on?

That's about ... uh ... 3 dashes, maybe? The orange flower water didn't overwhelm but it was very strong in the taste. I might go with an 1/8th of an ounce, first.

I like the mention of measuring the cream last; I've thought that every time I use it. 1/4oz of orange flower water is -insane- I think I used all but 8 drops for three 750ml bottles of orgeat. How about 3 drops? Ooh, I absolutely must try a negroni with rhubarb bitters!
