Virtually every bitter begins as a medicine. Herbs, roots and peels were steeped in alcohol because it held on to the active substances best and because it kept for a long time. Only later did it become a drink.
That explains the taste: bitter compounds from gentian, cinchona bark or orange peel, which get the digestion going. That is why a bitter has traditionally been served after the meal, and an aperitif bitter before it.
Some bitters are used drop by drop in a cocktail, others are simply poured into a small glass. Both should be well chilled.
Almost every bitter started out as a medicine. The taste still gives that away.
