How much is a dash of bitters?

One of the most common questions we get is, “How much is a dash of bitters?”

A dash of bitters is a tricky thing to quantify. Think of it like a pinch of salt: it will vary per person. In general, a dash is when you tip the 4 oz bottle of bitters upside down over your shaker or mixing glass and shake. Or, if you’re using a bottle with a dropper top a dash usually equals about one full dropper (otherwise known as a sleeve).

Multiple shakes = multiple dashes.

Multiple droppers = multiple dashes.
