The key ingredient: cocktail bitters

A cocktail is more than just a simple drink; it is an artful blend of flavors that emphasizes the interplay of spirits, sugar, water and, above all, bitters. Together, these components form a refreshing whole that goes far beyond the sum of its parts. The term “cocktail” was first defined on May 13, 1806 in “The Balance and Columbian Repository” in New York, highlighting how a few drops of bitters can significantly influence the balance, complexity and taste of a drink.

The origins of bitters

The origin of bitters is closely linked to the history of alcohol. In early times, alcohol was often regarded as a medicine due to the pleasant feeling it provided. Monks, who were among the most educated people at the time, used their knowledge of herbs and spices to make digestifs. By adding bitter substances, these digestifs were transformed into aperitif bitters or liqueur bitters. By reducing the sweetness and concentrating on the bitter and spicy elements, the result was what we know today as bitters - a versatile additive that is considered a kind of “secret weapon” in modern bar culture.

Revolution in the cocktail scene with The Bitter Truth

Since their founding in 2006, Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck have not only enriched cocktail culture with The Bitter Truth, but have also contributed to a renaissance of forgotten flavors. Their carefully crafted bitters bring the nuances and flair of the 1920s back into modern cocktail creations. Whether you want to recreate classic recipes or develop your own creations, The Bitter Truth offers you the authentic flavors to make your drinks something very special.

The Bitter Truth combines traditional craftsmanship and innovative recipes

The production process at “The Bitter Truth” is characterized by care and dedication. Botanical extracts are obtained through slow maceration, followed by a phase of harmonization in which the aromas develop and combine before the final product is bottled. This method guarantees a quality that can be felt in every drop of bitters and enriches both classic and modern cocktails.
