Sometimes, all you need to do in order to create a new cocktail is to add bitters to an old cocktail. The Income Tax is nothing more than a Bronx with bitters. But that's okay; the bitters add such a depth of flavor that the cocktail earns a new moniker.
The origins of this drink are obscure; it dates to no later than the 1920s, but otherwise, no one seems to know where or when it arose, or how it was named. Nevertheless, it's a tasty drink.
It's worth it for this drink to buy an actual gosh-darned orange and squeeze it fresh, by the way. The flavor's so much better than the stuff from a carton.
