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.
SPOKANE HOUSE AROMATIC COCKTAIL BITTERS
In 1809, explorer David Thompson visited the confluence of two rivers, the Spokane and Little Spokane. He found what the indigenous peoples had known for centuries, a landscape rich in plants and wildlife. Our kit blends the prairie sage of the inland NW with an earthy blend of peppery spice and hints of citrus to enhance whiskies, rum, and mezcal. Cheers!
