A few years ago Genevieve started tinkering with making her own bitters and after tasting it in soda, side by side with Angostura, there was no going back. Soon a shelf in the kitchen was filled with glass jars full of fruits, herbs, spices, roots, and barks soaking in booze. She was making tinctures to get familiar with the individual flavours of all the ingredients she was working with and she was on a quest to make the perfect bitters to use in an Old Fashioned. Warm and spicy, not too fruity, and with a solid, bitter backbone.

 

 

 

This surprisingly savory bitters leads a duplicitous life adding depth to sweeter drinks based on apple or orange, but also also blending right in with the smoky characteristics of tequila and scotch.
