Tall, dark and although not necessarily handsome, most definitely rich: with cocoa butter and dark chocolate to entice the nose, hints of vanilla, cinnamon and bitter tones of gentian and wormwood elicit the palate. The Bitter Truth Chocolate Bitters play exceptionally well with sweet Vermouths and all kinds of aged spirits like Whisk(e)y, Rum, Tequila and Brandy.

New bitters for a new era of cocktails. Deep chocolate notes are supported by classic bitter flavors and accented with a hint of spice. Plays perfectly with most dark spirits, rums and tequilas. The Bitter Truth Chocolate Bitters blur the lines between old world bitters and new world flavors. Add a dash to a Manhattan to start exploring its complex flavor or use in a Tequila Old Fashioned to bring forward the spirit’s vegetal flavors.

About The Bitter Truth:

The Bitter Truth started producing cocktail bitters in 2006. The Bitter Truth sticks to the »classic method« of producing bitters by macerating roots, seeds, barks, fruits, herbs and plants in an alcohol base. All ingredients are 100 % natural to guarantee the best quality of taste.  The design of the bitters bottle refers to old medicine bottles from the 19th century. The label was designed with old fashioned floral ornaments and printed on plastic foil to withstand daily demands.

Tasting Notes:

Dark, rich and complex. A bitter chocolate nose leads the palate to dark chocolate, cinnamon and spice flavors that are supported by classic European bitter herbs.
