If your Angostura bitters bottle is leaking, you're not alone. Our research shows that some folks have had similar issues, often due to how the bottle is handled during shipping or how it's sealed.
Here's what you can do:
First, check the cap. Sometimes, it might not be on tight enough, especially after being transported. Just a quick twist to make sure it's secure could stop the leaking.
Another thing to consider is the shipping process itself. Rough handling can sometimes crack the bottle or mess up the seal, letting liquid escape. If you notice any visible damage to the bottle, contacting the retailer or manufacturer for a replacement might be a good move.
Even though these bottles are usually pretty sturdy, occasionally there can be a manufacturing issue. It's always a good idea to inspect the bottle closely when you first get it.
If you've already opened the bottle, check for any residue around the cap. Bitters can leave a buildup that prevents the cap from sealing properly. Cleaning that off might help.
If none of this works and the bottle is still leaking, try transferring the bitters to another container—especially if you have more than one bottle.
For more help, you can always reach out directly to Angostura's customer service. They can offer advice specific to their products and might even help with a replacement.
Finally, take a look at any instructions on the bottle about how to store and handle it. Following those guidelines can help prevent leaks and keep your bitters in good shape.
