PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Welcome to Badass Bitters DIY Cocktail Bitters Kits!
What are bitters?
Bitters fill a unique niche in medicine, food, and drink history. The story begins with the alchemical arts in ancient Egypt and ends in America in a cocktail glass. The ancients made the first bitters by extracting the healing (and flavor) qualities of flowers, peels, seeds, barks, and herbs through an infusion process using wine and, later, distilled alcohol.
Why are bitters used in cocktails?
In 1806, the cocktail appeared: “…COCKTAIL, then, is a stimulating liquor, comprised of spirits of any kind, sugar, water, and bitters.” This first publishing of the word “cocktail” and its definition appeared in The Balance, Columbian Repository in Hudson, New York. By the early twentieth century, cocktail culture flourished, and bitters became the secret sauce in the classics. Today, you become the alchemist-mixologist with our Badass Bitters DIY educational kit, infusing and making bitters. Badass.
APPLE SPICE COCKTAIL BITTERS
American as apple pie? Before apples went into pies, early Americans made the first native liquor, apple brandy. Our kit harkens back to the days of the apple-licious tipple. Enjoy the balance of baking spices with apple. The flavors of Apple Spice DIY Cocktail Bitters are a winning addition to whiskey, rum, and any aged spirit. Add a few dashes to your hot toddy. Cheers!
