Hopped Grapefruit Bitters blend the zesty essence of grapefruit with the finest hops, creating a unique flavor profile. These bitters are an ideal addition to stirred cocktails featuring tequila and refreshing long drinks crafted with gin. But when does grapefruit transcend its simple identity?
Connoisseurs of beer will recognize that certain hop varieties, especially when used generously, impart a robust grapefruit taste. Leveraging this characteristic, the Hopped Grapefruit Bitters are crafted using Pacific Northwest hops and grapefruit peel, resulting in a multi-layered experience of vegetal bitterness. Specially formulated to complement young (silver) rums, tequilas, and mezcal, these bitters are versatile enough for a variety of cocktails. They shine particularly in drinks requiring a citrusy zing, such as daiquiris, gimlets, or even a gin and tonic with a hint of maraschino.
Boasting an alcohol content of 53%, these bitters are a bold choice for enhancing a wide range of beverages.
About Bittermens
Bitters are transforming the cocktail landscape in trend-setting cities like New York, Boston, and San Francisco. Here, mixologists and cocktail aficionados are delving into the annals of history to revive forgotten recipes, while also innovating with new, unique flavors. These efforts are shaping the palate of the contemporary American cocktail.
In the vibrant city of San Francisco, Avery and Janet Glasser embarked on a culinary adventure. They experimented with high-proof spirits and an eclectic mix of herbs, peels, and spices. Their goal was to distill the essence of a traditional Mexican cooking sauce. This creative endeavor led to the birth of the Xocolatl Mole Bitters, a prototype that would later gain acclaim.
A significant turning point came for Bittermens, marked by a phase of revitalization and growth. They moved away from previous licensing arrangements and forged fresh partnerships. This era was also characterized by the development of new products and the establishment of a commercial kitchen. Bittermens' products have since achieved a global presence, gracing bars and homes on almost every continent – with ambitions to conquer even the icy expanse of Antarctica.
