Bitters usually do contain an alcohol content, with some ranging as high as 45%. However, it would be pretty hard to get a buzz from bitters because they are usually used in such small amounts to flavor a drink.
The Manhattan is arguably the most popular drink to use bitters. The flavor of the bitters is very prominent since it is a simple drink. There are many variations on the drink, but Manhattans are commonly made using 2 oz. of whiskey, rye or bourbon, 3/4 oz. of sweet vermouth and 1 dash of bitters. Stir the mixture, pour it into a glass and top it off with a maraschino cherry.
