In a typical cocktail there are between 1 to 2 dashes of bitters.
Cocktails only require 1 to 2 dashes of bitters for most types of cocktails, however its based on your personal taste.
When making your own cocktails you should start by adding 1 dash of bitters to the cocktail at a time.
And make sure you stir the cocktail in-between dashes to disperse the flavors evenly throughout the drink.
Measured out in drops, using a precise, milliliter-dropper like the ones used to dispense medicine, a dash is about 10 single drops.
Measured out in teaspoons, a dash would be 1/5 teaspoon, or as I discovered in my kitchen, between 1/8th teaspoon and 1/4 teaspoon.
A cocktail is an alcoholic mixed drink.
Most commonly, cocktails are either a combination of spirits, or one or more spirits mixed with other ingredients such as fruit juice, flavored syrup, or cream.
The 6 basic cocktail drinks are the Old Fashioned, Martini, Daiquiri, Sidecar, Whiskey Highball, and Flip.
In each drink, every ingredient falls into at least one category.
Core is the primary flavor; balance enhances the core with sweetness, acidity, or both; and seasoning adds another dimension and complements or contrasts with the core.
A cocktail is a mixed drink typically made with a distilled liquor (such as arrack, brandy, cachaça, gin, rum, tequila, vodka, or whiskey) as its base ingredient that is then mixed with other ingredients or garnishments.
Sweetened liqueurs, wine, or beer may also serve as the base or be added.
