Transform the classics into newly conceived modern cocktails with the help of these 18.21 Bitters Japanese chili & lime bitters. A staple ingredient for any bar looking to serve craft cocktails, bitters are highly concentrated extracts that, with just a dash, can help deliver an added layer of flavor, depth, and aroma to cocktails. Made with red Japanese chilis, dried morita peppers, and lime peel, these bitters have a smoky, savory, and spicy chili flavor with a subtle lime acidity to help round out the chili's intensity. Ideal for pairing with tequila- and mezcal-based drinks, try using them to create a unique twist on the popular paloma cocktail. They are also great for adding spice to vodka, gin, and rye drinks, or for deepening the flavor in your Bloody Mary. You can even use them to create one-of-a-kind marinades, dressings, or savory fruit fillings for your pastries!
With 66.5% alcohol per volume and a concentrated aroma, a little bit goes a long way in your beverages, and its dropper top makes adding precise amounts of bitters to your drinks an easy task. Packaged in a charming, vintage glass bottle, the presence of the bitters with an antique logo design is sure to add a sleek, timeless look to your bar, restaurant, or lounge's bar shelf.
Designed for the novice bartender and skilled mixologist alike, 18.21 Bitters is dedicated to handcrafting premium cocktail bitters, tinctures, shrubs, syrups, tonics, and other bar mixes so you can elevate your cocktail no matter the spirit! The birth of craft cocktails with the use of bitters can be attributed to the Prohibition era and the frequent need to make bootleggers' unregulated liquor palatable. This woman-owned company's name pays homage to the two constitutional amendments - the 18th and 21st - that are dedicated to America's federal prohibition on alcohol and its later reversal. Small-batch crafted in Atlanta, Georgia, they use only fresh ingredients to create innovative, yet balanced flavor profiles that stand well on their own as well as boost the complexity of your signature drinks. Great spirits deserve equally great mixers - make crafting better cocktails an easy task with 18.21 Bitters!
