Big Sur Bitters
Big Sur Bitters (year round):
The Bitter Ginger's "Big Sur Bitters" was the 2016 winner of Greenbar Distillery's Bar Keep challenge. This is a national competition from which the top three contenders were from Nashville, Vegas and Big Sur.
These Bitters feature the essence of the Big Sur coast. Bringing together the aromatics one would find whilst hiking around Big Sur. They feature bay laurel, sage, eucalyptus and other secrets of the coast.
Each bottle is 2oz of potent goodness. Use the bitters as a seasoning to any cocktail, just a few drops will do. The bottle comes with an eye dropper attached to the lid for easy measurement. If you need recipe help, send us a message!
All citrus is from Apple Pie Ranch in Big Sur, Ca. Any ingredients not grown on the ranch or in our garden is sourced organically. No dye is added to alter the color of the bitters, each bottle genuinely reflects the amalgamation of its ingredients. I believe that quality fresh ingredients take this classic cocktail seasoning to new heights by bringing out the brightness of each flavor combination.
The reason behind what I produce is to be able to craft a bitters made from the best produce available and to be able to adapt a bitters to reflect the kinds of flavors we as humans crave with each changing season. Bitters can be described as a bartender's "salt & pepper." I believe, cocktails can provide the kind of experience and adventure that a well made meal takes you on, if one plays a bit with the basic ingredients.
