Description
For years, customers and distributors have asked Bittermens if we would ever release iconic flavors that have been made popular by other brands. From day one, we’ve always said that we won’t simply copy other flavors in the market, nor make replicas of historical flavors. However, if we had a unique perspective and could create something truly useful, that’s a different story.
In 2011, we launched the Orange Cream Citrate as an experimental flavor. Instead of going for a more bitter and spice driven flavor profile like most orange bitters that were on the market, we went with a fresh, summery expression of orange. It solved a whole set of problems that bartenders didn’t even know they had.
What’s the flavor profile? Extremely complex, but not in a confusing way. It’s a little sweet, nicely bitter and surprisingly fruity. We’ve merged the great bitters of the world to create an aromatic bitter that is useful in such a wide array of drinks.
From the most classic Aromatic bitters of Venezuela and Trinidad, we created a base that includes gentian, clove, allspice and cinnamon
From New Orleans style bitters, we blend in angelica and anise seed
From the iconic Italian Fernet, we fortify the bitterness in a touch of aloe and chicory
From the Alpine Amaro tradition, we add in chamomile and dandelion
From the tradition of German digestives, we incorporate cherry bark and licorice
