Hella Bitter
We make cocktail bitters by hand, and then we put them in bottles, and then people who love delicious things buy them and make incredible beverages and food with them. We're making the world a bitter place.
Citrus
Citrus is the bitters that started it all, and we have refined a recipe that adds a sophisticated citrus aspect to any recipe. It is slightly more concentrated, and more noticeably citrusy than other bitters in its class. This is because our small-batch approach enables us to carefully regulate the different flavors and prevent any one from overpowering the others. We use a selection of the citrus that is in season at the time of production, usually nine or ten kinds of citrus fruit. This gives us the advantage of being able to select the best citrus on the market when we start a batch, which makes for some subtle variations from batch to batch.
Setlzer Cart
In 2011 we did a Kickstarter to raise money to make the Hella Bitter Seltzer Cart. Custom built by Poggi Industries, the cart carries ten gallons of homemade seltzer and is the life of every party we've taken it to. Right now we're looking for a summer venue for the cart and it's available for parties. Give us a shout if you're interested in having the cart roll through to your event!
Aromatic
Our Aromatic bitters is a compelling alternative to the standard angostura-based aromatic bitters on the market. We use more intriguing ingredients, and stronger flavors to make a bitters that can stand up to the biggest bourbon whiskeys, but is still delicate enough to give subtle support to a gin cocktail. The key to this bitters is wormwood bark, balanced against a variety of botanicals and chamomile tea. It gets its color from the beet juice that we use to help sweeten it. We think it's the best aromatic bitters you can get.
