Bittercube Blackstrap Bitters

Full-bodied and earthy, with two types of molasses, three types of cinnamon, nutmeg, sassafras and sarsaparilla. These slightly spicy bitters are perfect to garnish atop egg white cocktails to provide visual appeal and intense aroma.

Unlike the majority of bitters that use neutral spirits or glycerin, we slow-craft these unique bitters with high-proof whiskey. The whiskey acts as a flavorful ingredient instead of merely a solvent.

Select Ingredients: Saigon cinnamon, ceylon cinnamon, molasses, sassafras leaves, sarsaparilla, nutmeg, mace, kola nut, gentian

Application: Hot cocktails, egg white cocktails, as cinnamon in baked goods

Ingredient Fact: The nutmeg tree, Myristica fragrans, is the only tree that produces two separate spices. The apricot-type fruit contains a hard pit, which is a nutmeg, while the lacy red membrane which surrounds it is mace. The delicate membrane is carefully peeled away from the shell of the nutmeg and spread to dry in the sun.
