I had to cheat a little and substitute the bitters with Angostura cocoa and orange. Turned out surprisingly good.

Tried it for the weirdness, stayed for the deliciousness.

I had leftover sparkling wine and so set out to make this. Opened the pantry and no balsamic vinegar! Undaunted, I used Chinkiang black vinegar, which has a similar flavor profile. Gave it more of an earthy note, but still interesting.
