Bitters Angostura Strana 1 z 1

Bitters are concentrated aromatic liqueurs with a distinctive bittersweet flavour, used to enhance and deepen the aroma of drinks.

Even a few drops can transform a cocktail completely – highlighting fruity notes, softening sweetness, or adding depth and balance.

From medicine to the art of mixology

Originally created as herbal elixirs to aid digestion, bitters were first crafted by apothecaries in the 18th century. Over time, they made their way into bars and became an essential part of cocktail culture. Today, bitters are made from dozens of herbs, spices, flowers, and citrus peels macerated in alcohol – resulting in a powerful aromatic concentrate with a complex flavour profile.

How to use them

Bitters are not meant to be drunk on their own but are used as a flavour enhancer in cocktails – from classics like Old Fashioned and Manhattan to modern signature creations.

At home, they’re perfect for experimenting – just add a few drops to tonic, lemonade, or even coffee to discover a new dimension of flavour.

Bitters form a bridge between herbal liqueurs and aperitifs.
