Product details

The professor would be proud. He might recognize crystallized ginger and the oils of fresh tangerine and almonds slipping through. We're sure he’d have known that it tastes of dried fruit with a finish of orange peel and a light sprinkling of Angostura bark. Very fruity and very bitter. Citrus and dried fruit aromas unite with the spicy and bitter flavors of cloves, angostura bark and cinnamon. Use it with a lump of Muscovado sugar for an authentic 19th Century Old Fashioned!

  • Absolutely my favorite bitters. These bitters are tremendous in a Old Fashioned.
  • This bitters is rich and flavorful.
  • One dash goes a long way with this one, and I love using it in rum-based cocktails.

Pair Well With Other Bitters

I pair 1-2 dashes of these Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas with the Angostura and Regan's Orange No.6 for my Vieux Carre, Old Fashioned or Manhattan and this works really well to round out the drink.

Definitely recommend trying these out.

The Jerry of Bitters

This bitters is rich and flavorful. Add with sparkling water, a cherry, and simple syrup and you have a great at home soda.

My "go to" bitters

Love these bitters. My "go to" for Old Fashions and just about every other drink that calls for bitters. Great when added to club soda as well. Thank you BB team for the recommendation. Now if you can just keep it in stock :)

Kick up your old fashioned game

I've been drinking old fashions for so long, that back when I started they were just called "fashions" Anyway, I dig the extra notes of subtle spice and aromatics over angostura.

Big thanks to the BB crew the recommendation. A

Mighty fine bitters

The Bitter Truth always kills it with their cocktail bitters, and this is one of my favorites.

It’s got a wonderful tropical spice kind of vibe to it, with heavy notes of allspice and cassia. One dash goes a long way with this one, and I love using it in rum-based cocktails. Even a simple daiquiri becomes a whole new drink with a dash of this in it.

Can’t go wrong.

Best bitters for black manhattans. Hands down.
