Fee Brothers Cherry Bitters
Fee Brothers Cherry Bitters is a classic cocktail bitter that brings the bright, fruity essence of cherries to drinks with concentrated flavor and aromatic complexity. Produced by Fee Brothers, a family-owned company with over 150 years of bitters-making heritage in Rochester, New York, these bitters capture the sweet-tart character of ripe cherries along with subtle spice and botanical notes that add depth beyond simple fruit flavor. Made using traditional methods and quality ingredients, Fee Brothers Cherry Bitters deliver authentic cherry character that enhances cocktails without the heaviness or artificial sweetness of cherry liqueurs or syrups. Just a few dashes can transform drinks by adding fruity complexity, aromatic lift, and a touch of sophistication, making these bitters an essential tool for bartenders and home mixologists looking to add cherry notes to their creations with precision and elegance.
The bitters present a deep red color and an inviting aroma of ripe cherries with hints of almond, spice, and subtle botanical complexity. The flavor is bright and cherry-forward with natural fruit character balanced by gentle bitterness and warm spice notes that prevent it from being overly sweet. A few dashes work beautifully in whiskey cocktails like Manhattans and Old Fashioneds where they enhance the classic cherry garnish, add fruity depth to sours and fizzes, complement gin and vodka drinks, and can even elevate champagne cocktails or simple sparkling water. The cherry character pairs particularly well with bourbon, rye whiskey, and aged spirits, but its versatility makes it valuable across numerous cocktail styles. Beyond drinks, creative bartenders use these bitters to enhance simple syrups, flavor whipped cream, or add complexity to desserts and culinary applications where a concentrated cherry essence is desired. Whether you're building a complete bitters collection, seeking to add fruity complexity to classic cocktails, or looking for a reliable ingredient that brings cherry character without artificial flavors or excessive sweetness, Fee Brothers Cherry Bitters delivers time-tested quality and professional versatility in every dash.
