The Bitter Truth Peach Bitters 0.2L 39% Cocktail Bitters in earlier times The 1910s are widely regarded as the golden age of cocktail culture. At that time, cocktail bitters were an indispensable component of many cocktail creations and distinguished them from other drink categories such as fizzes, slings, sours, punches or toddies. When Prohibition began in 1919, consumers' drinking habits shifted massively. The basic spirits, such as whiskey and gin, were only available from dubious sources and in very poor quality, if at all. High-quality products such as cocktail bitters almost completely disappeared and only a few brands managed to survive the "dry period". When Prohibition was finally over in 1933, the remaining cocktail bitters found it difficult to position themselves in the changed market, as cocktail culture had almost completely come to a standstill. The revival of cocktail bitters It took a surprisingly long time, until 2006 to be precise, for the cocktail bitters segment to gain momentum again. At that time, the two internationally known bartenders Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck founded the bitters manufacturer "The Bitter Truth" in Munich. The ambitious and clear vision of the two entrepreneurs was to make long-forgotten and thought-lost ingredients available to bartenders and connoisseurs in outstanding quality. The conditions for this were ideal, as both Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck had already gained experience in the production of cocktail bitters during their time behind the bar, as they made them themselves by hand for the bars in which they worked. In addition, Stephan Berg has one of the most extensive collections of historical cocktail bitters in the world, so that Berg and Hauck knew what the bitters must have tasted like in the past by carefully and purposefully tasting them. As some standard bitters, such as Angostura, were still available, Berg and Hauck searched through old cocktail books for cocktail recipes that could no longer be made true to the original with the bitters available, and for which the revival of old recipes was necessary. In autumn 2006, the first three products from "The Bitter Truth" were finally released: an Orange Bitters, an Aromatic Bitters and a Lemon Bitters. The further development of The Bitter Truth The products from "The Bitter Truth" immediately attracted great interest in the international bar scene and were quickly able to position themselves in some of the most important cocktail bars worldwide, which was certainly also due to the attractive product design by graduate designer Alexander Hauck. Encouraged by the positive response from colleagues, “The Bitter Truth” developed further exciting bitters creations over the next few years, such as Jerry Thomas Own Decanter Bitters, Chocolate Bitters, Creole Bitters, Grapefruit Bitters and a Celery Bitters, which was named “Best Spirit of the Year” at the 2008 Mixology Bar Awards and won the title of “Best New Product” at Tales of the Cocktail New Orleans 2010. Since the company's original idea was to "revive forgotten ingredients", the range was expanded over time to include other niche products such as Violet Liqueur, Apricot Liqueur, Elderflower Liqueur, Orange Flower Water, Rose Water, Pimento Dram, Sloe Gin, Pink Gin, Falernum and the herbal liqueur ELIXIER. The Bitter Truth Peach Bitters - taste Peach is a product that has been used by bartenders for decades - think of the famous Bellini cocktail, for example. For this reason, The Bitter Truth decided to create a bitter with the taste of natural peaches. The result is Peach Bitters, which was first presented at the Bar Convent Berlin 2012. It impresses with a great bouquet of dried and fresh peaches and a slightly floral note. If you try the bitter, the peach notes are accompanied by a subtle marzipan aroma and enormous fruitiness. In contrast to other products, the bitterness of Peach Bitters is less pronounced. This has the advantage that you can add 1-2 dashes more to the drink if you want the fruity note to come across particularly well. The aromas of Peach Bitters go particularly well with whiskey, gin and bourbon. A cocktail tip from the editors is "The Derby": The base of this drink is bourbon or gin, which is refined with fresh mint and peach bitters. Cheers!

The Bitter Truth Cucumber Bitters, 0.2 L, 39% The history of The Bitter Truth The history of the German company The Bitter Truth is unique and closely linked to the renaissance of cocktails in the last decade. To better understand the history of cocktail bitters in general, one must go back to the middle of the 19th century. At that time, the first cocktail books appeared and with them the first written cocktail recipes. Cocktail bitters were an integral part of the recipes at that time. In numerous variations, they gave the cocktails of the time the right balance and spice and distinguished the group of cocktails from other drink categories such as fizzes, slings, toddies, punches or sours. With the beginning of American Prohibition in 1920, however, the art of mixing cocktails, and with it cocktail bitters, fell into oblivion. Cocktail culture recovered only slowly and for decades was characterized by brightly colored drinks in the style of a swimming pool. Of the former Cocktail Bitters, only Angostura Bitters remained, although this was more of a niche product. This problem did not go unnoticed by the two former bartenders Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck, who had been making cocktail bitters for the bars they worked in for several years. In 2006, the two entrepreneurs decided to turn their passion into a career and founded the company "The Bitter Truth". The aim of "The Bitter Truth" was to restore the former fame of Cocktail Bitters to new heights and to re-establish them on the global cocktail scene. A mission that was crowned with success, as today The Bitter Truth Cocktail Bitters can be found in almost every bar in the world! The Bitter Truth Cucumber Bitters The newest product in the Bitters manufacturer's portfolio is The Bitter Truth Cucumber Bitters. These were developed with the aim of capturing the fragile aromas of a fresh cucumber and thus having the opportunity to transfer this elegant taste into cocktails. As a basis for the Cucumber Bitter, fresh cucumbers are mashed immediately after harvest and then distilled. This distillate is then mixed with various herbs and spices and thus gets its unmistakably fresh and spicy taste. The Cucumber Bitters from The Bitter Truth are particularly impressive in drinks with white spirits such as gin, vodka or aquavit.
