Bitters Explained: History, Types, And Cocktail Recipes

By | Mixology News

The first mention of a cocktail came in the early 1800s, which was a blend of four ingredients: liquor, sugar, water, and bitters. 

Today, bitters are used in sweet and tangy cocktails added to balance out the drink, making them more complex and adding to the flavor profile. Back when bitters were first discovered, they were thought of as healthy or as medicine. Many people believed that bitters would cure everything from indigestion to malaria because of its unpleasant taste. Unpleasant taste equaled something healthy.

During prohibition, many bitters companies closed their doors and it seemed as if the ingredient was nearly lost forever. As the craft cocktail market has grown, bitters have come back from the depths of history to fuel bartender creativity.

Bitters are made from infusing bark, herbs, fruit peels, roots, botanicals, and other ingredients into a flavorless alcohol base. Just like salt is added to cooking for extra flavor, bitters are added to cocktails to enhance the taste.

The flavor of bitters can vary wildly depending on the style, ingredients, and marker. Some brands have their own specific flavor while others are more experimental. One of the most popular bitters, Angostura, has a spicy profile with notes of cinnamon. Other companies have bitters with notes of coffee and cacao like Santa Teresa.

Cocktail bitters, with their concentrated flavor, are ideal finishers for even the simplest drinks. Even a whiskey on the rocks can be improved with a dash or two of transforming flavor. Utilizing the many different types of bitters can help create bold and complex cocktails that stan above the competition.

Here are a few of our favorite bitter’s brands!

Angostura Aromatic Bitters

Founded by Dr. Johann Siegert in 1824, the aromatic bitters were first produced as a medical tincture to help with stomach issues. In 1870, Siegert’s three sons migrated to Trinidad and established the bitters as an essential ingredient in cocktails and food. With four bitters variations: Aromatic Bitters, Orange Bitters, Cocoa Bitters, and Amaro Di Angostura, Angostura is a staple for bartenders and professional and home cooks.

Angostura Aromatic Bitters

Santa Teresa 1796

The award-winning Rum, founded in 1796 and only recently launched their first collection of bitters to enhance the walnut, coffee, cacao notes of their rum. The Cantinero Coffee Bitters are made from cacao, cracked coffee beans, sarsaparilla, and molasses.

Bitter End 

Known for giving standard bitters a radical twist, each batch made is mixed, infused, and dispensed by hand in limited quantities. With seven variations: Chesapeake Bay, Mexican Mole, Jamaican Jerk, Curry, Memphis Barbeque, Moroccan, and Thai, these bitters elevate classic cocktails. Founder Bill York uses his knowledge of world cuisine and mixology to bring world flavors into bottles.

Bitters End Bitters

Bitter Truth 

The Bitter Truth bitters have received multiple awards for their traditionally made bitters that only use the best quality and natural ingredients. With over 10 variations including lemon, celery, tonic, peach, and more, The Bitter Truth bitters were designed to recreate drinks that could no longer be mixed true because one crucial ingredient was missing. The German brand founded by bartenders, Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck, came up with the idea of producing and distributing cocktail bitters due to the lack thereof in Germany.

Bitter Queens 

Offering seven flavor profiles, Bitter Queens bitters each have a full-bodied personality. Sassy Sally emits root beer aromas with cinnamon, citrus, and mint. Maire Laveau evokes a savory tobacco flavor with notes of smoked tea, clove, and vanilla. Norcal Nancy is a mix of fresh aromas, eucalyptus, sage, California laurel, and tree bark. Opulent Odessa is richly perfumed with exotic citrus oils and mingled with lemon, chamomile, and frankincense. Joker Judy has toasty notes of coffee, vanilla, and cacao like a chocolate-walnut cookie. Bangkok Betty is a blend of citrusy Thai flavors like kaffir lime, lemongrass, chilies, and ginger. Lastly, Shanghai Shirley kicks the senses with spicy pepper, star anise, and warm spice.

Celebrate Day of the Dead with Espolón Tequila

By | Mixology News

Espolòn Verde Paloma, cocktail and bottle, featured image

Most every Mexican spirit company has a connection to Day of the Dead, but few can boast as direct a link as Espolón.

Even in the highly-competitive world of tequila, Espolón Tequila has rapidly become one of the most beloved brands on the market. The unique design, high-quality flavor, and accessible price point have all contributed to making the award-winning line a bar staple.

Espolòn Tequila Varieties, bottles on white

Espolòn Tequila Varieties

The brand’s distinctive labels are a direct homage to Mexico’s rich culture and history with art that pays tribute to artist José Guadalupe Posada. Posada was a political cartoonist and lithographer who played a critical role in social justice activism. His work was so beloved; it quickly became deeply embedded in art and tradition. Posada is best remembered for his art of Calaveras – depictions of skulls and skeletons used for cultural and political critiques. Some of his most famous Calaveras became icons for the day of the dead celebrations. Espolón Tequila’s labels draw inspiration from these Calaveras, each telling a different story of Mexico’s rich heritage.

This day of the dead, enjoy Espolón’s refreshing and spicy take on the Mexican classic!

NV Group Announces Release of SMOKE LAB VODKA

By | Mixology News

Made from Basmati rice and pure Himalayan spring water, India’s largest and most successful distillers, NV Group, launched SMOKE LAB VODKA in the United States.

Varun Jain, the founder of SMOKE LAB, inspired and guided India’s first-ever homegrown, luxury vodka. The vodka is manufactured one batch at a time and crafted with locally sourced, high-quality Basmati rice; a crop native to the country. Starting October 1st, SMOKE LAB VODKA Classic and SMOKE LAB VODKA Aniseed will be available in New York, New Jersey, and California. The company plans to further expand in 2021.

Smoke Lab Vodka Classic and Aniseed, bottles on white

Smoke Lab Vodka Classic and Aniseed

“We chose Basmati rice as the spirit base for SMOKE LAB VODKA because of its distinctive nutty flavor and unique floral aroma and because Basmati is intrinsically linked with our homeland of India,” commented Jain. “The Basmati selected for SMOKE LAB VODKA is cultivated in close proximity to the distillery to ensure freshness.”

India is responsible for 70% of the world’s basmati rice production. Once the rice is harvested, it is steeped in pure Himalayan natural spring water before it undergoes a five-step distillation process using charcoal filtration. It then goes through a two-step Sparkle Filtration process which utilizes a clean and smooth finish.

SMOKE LAB VODKA Classic is bottled at 40% ABV with fresh nutty aromas that meet the nose, followed by subtle citrus fruits. SMOKE LAB VODKA Aniseed explores the loved Indian herb, with notes of fennel and licorice. The 37.5% ABV has a creamy and sweetness to the lips with a fennel blossom finish.

Jain joined the group in 2007 and has successfully piloted the launch and creation of SMOKE LAB VODKA — a world-class vodka with an innovative mindset. The brand is also developing new spirits in other categories which will further empathize with India’s story.

“US consumers seek to discover new brands with authentic quality stories. We believe our unique story and the passion of our mission to introduce our spirits of India to the world is evident in every drop of SMOKE LAB VODKA. We are excited for US retailers, on-premise operators, and ultimately consumers to embrace the realization of our dream,” added Jain.
