Boë Violet Gin 0,7L 41,5%

The Bitter Truth Violet Liqueur, 0.5 L, 22% Cocktail bitters over time Cocktail bitters have a long tradition and many of the old cocktail recipes call for their use. Like the heart of cocktail culture, the center of cocktail bitters production at that time was in the USA. With the start of Prohibition in 1919, however, as with many other spirits companies, the fate of most bitters manufacturers was sealed. Only a few brands, such as Angostura Bitters, survived the dry period, but were never able to regain their former glory. Along with cocktail bitters, many classic cocktails were forgotten and for many decades colorful drinks with lots of cream and coconut liqueur were the most popular drinks in many bars. This was not to change until the beginning of the 21st century, when classic cocktails slowly came back into fashion. Unfortunately, the drinks could often not be recreated true to the original because a crucial ingredient was missing - the cocktail bitters. The two internationally known bartenders Stephan Berg & Alexander Hauck were also aware of this problem and founded the company "The Bitter Truth" in 2005. The aim of this small factory was to bring long-forgotten cocktail bitters back to life and thus enable bartenders and connoisseurs to mix classic cocktail bitters again. Classic bitters, liqueurs and spirits Both Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck made their own bitters by hand during their active time as bartenders in order to be able to offer their guests high-quality cocktails. In the large collection of historical cocktail books that Stephan Berg owns, the two found inspiration for recipes, which they then refined further. The first bitters they brought onto the market were a Lemon Bitters, an Orange Bitters and the famous Aromatic Bitters. Numerous other bitters followed, such as the Celery Bitters, which was voted "Spirit of the Year" by Mixology Magazine in 2008. Over the years, however, Berg and Hauck also realized that there was also a demand for old spirits and liqueurs that were difficult or no longer available in their original form. One of these liqueurs is a violet liqueur - the Violet Liqueur! The taste of the Violet Liqueur The Violet Liqueur from The Bitter Truth is made from the flowers of wild violets from the Alpine foothills. These are married with a little sugar and the finest grain brandy. Light in body, with subtle floral notes, the sugar content in The Bitter Truth Violet Liqueur was deliberately reduced. This creates a very natural and fresh taste that comes across very well in cocktails such as Aviation, Blue Moon or Violet Fizz. The delicate, elegant aromas of the violets are captured in an impressive way in this Violet Liqueur. The Violet Liqueur is also a real treat neat, on ice or with sparkling wine. Recommended!
