Our bitters, which began as a collaboration between Greenbar Distillery and some of the most talented bartenders in the U.S., has evolved into an integral part of our in-house portfolio. We make these powerful & refined bitters to add instant aroma, complexity and finish to all manner of cocktails, low-alcohol drinks and desserts.

What are bitters: Mark G Hanna explains all in his Better With Bitters article in Coast Monthly: 

“They are the bit players that with just a few drops bring out the various flavors of an average cocktail. Loved old classics like the Manhattan, the whiskey sour, the old fashioned, the zombie or even something as simple as Scotch and soda take on a new vibrancy with just a few drops — creating not so much a change in flavor but a volume-up of the flavors already there. One publication declared them the salt and pepper on the cocktail table.”

Thanks, Mark!

How to use Greenbar bitters: Try adding one, two, or three drops to a cocktail. For flavor and finish, add to your shaker or stirring glass. For aroma, add to the finished cocktail. A great way to test bitters is to place a drop on the back of your hand and lick. Alternatively, add a drop or two to soda water to fully release the flavor and understand the power (some say: water with bitters is a delicious drink on its own too 🙂 )
