VodkaKnown variation

How much to use: Use the same volume; expect less juniper and botanical aroma.
What changes: Vodka can replace gin when you want a cleaner, less botanical drink, but it usually changes the cocktail identity.

Orange Bitters1 dash

Angostura BittersNot a neutral swap

How much to use: Start with the recipe’s dash count and taste; the result will be less citrus-led.
What changes: Angostura can replace orange bitters only when a warmer, more spice-led result is acceptable.
