Bittermens Hellfire Habanero Shrub Bitters

5 oz bottle- New York

Shrubs are classically refreshing fruit and vinegar-based syrups that were sweetened and diluted to make a beverage since Revolutionary times. Instead of making a berry shrub or an orange shrub, Bittermans figured they would make a pepper shrub. They fortified the shrub with alcohol (to better extract the flavors from the spices) and made it much more concentrated, so you only need to use drops, instead of ounces, to get the desired effect, which, in this case, is a good old bit of heat.

About Bittermens Bitters:

Founded in 2007 by Avery and Janet Glasser, Bittermens Small Batch Bitters are making their mark on the American palate in many major cities throughout the US. Cocktail and Bartenders alike are rediscovering the long-lost art of bitters, and discovering new combinations and flavors - all finding their place within the modern cocktail scene.

Avery and Janet are using high proof spirit and a variety of mostly organic herbs, peels, and spices to make their signature flavors, including a traditional Mexican mole - the prototype for their Xocolati Mole Bitters. All are crafted in small batches and by hand in the Louisiana, LA facility.
