The history of cocktail bitters

The first two decades of the 20th century were considered the golden age of cocktail culture. Many of today's well-known classics were created at that time. Many of these old recipes call for a very special ingredient - cocktail bitters. These are alcoholic seasonings that usually have a very intense taste and give the drink a very special note just by adding a few drops (dashes). To the chagrin of many cocktail connoisseurs, a large proportion of the former bitters were forgotten during Prohibition and only a few standard bitters survived, such as the Angostura Bitter. The internationally known bartenders Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck were also aware of this problem and founded the bitters manufacturer "The Bitter Truth" in 2005. The aim of the small company was to bring long-forgotten cocktail ingredients back to life and thus make it possible to recreate classic cocktails true to the original.

The development of The Bitter Truth

The Bitter Truth expanded its range to include products such as Celery Bitters, which was voted "Best Spirit of the Year" by Mixology in 2008. Over time, Berg & Hauck realized that there was a need for other forgotten spirits. Many once-famous liqueurs, such as violet liqueur or apricot liqueur, were not available for a long time or were only available in questionable quality. The company's portfolio was therefore expanded to include additional spirits and liqueurs in order to close this niche. One of these new products is Pink Gin.

What is Pink Gin? And how does it taste?

It is well known that British sailors used to use rum to preserve their drinking water and drank it as grog to treat scurvy. However, alcohol on board ships was not only used to prevent illness, but also to cure it. A well-known "medicine" to relieve seasickness was to give sailors gin mixed with bitters. The Bitter Truth takes up this tradition and developed a pink gin based on the traditional model. This has been adapted to modern tastes and impresses with its subtle aromas both neat, on ice and of course in cocktails and long drinks. The nose and palate reveal complex aromas of the best gin, which combine wonderfully with delicate nuances of herbs and spices. The soft mouthfeel of this pink gin can be particularly well perceived in the classic Martini Dry cocktail. Recommended!

Hoxton Pink Gin 0,5L 40%
Hoxton Pink Gin 0.5L 40% Hoxton Spirits For the past 25 years, Hoxton has been the creative centre of London. Artists, supermodels, rock stars and designers have met here. Gerry Calabrese, son of the world-famous bartender Salvatore Calabrese, a well-known bartender from top London bars such as Lab, Dust and Sex in the City, lives among this diversity of artists. In 2008, he no longer wanted to be just a bartender in any bar, he wanted his own location. So he opened the bar 'The Hoxton Pony' in the East End and in 2016 Wringer and Mangle. He has also made a name for himself as a consultant and event manager for Swarovski, Peroni Nastro Azzurro and Channel 4, to name just a few of his clients. Hoxton Pink Since the gin revival shows no signs of abating and the demand for well-made, innovative and hand-crafted gins is constantly increasing, Gerry Calabrese was not put off by the big drinks manufacturers and brought a new gin onto the market. The spirits brand Hoxton Spirits, Great Britain, has now expanded its premium gin range to include an excellent gin: Hoxton Pink Gin. Behind Hoxton Pink Gin is a crazy idea: In the artists' district of Hoxton in London, anything can happen and nothing is impossible. This is exactly what this gin is intended to reflect and shows this through the variety and combinations of the ingredients used. In addition to botanicals such as juniper, gunpowder tea, rose hip, rose and bergamot are also used. The Hoxton Pink Gin gets its pink colour from As with many gins, the quality and origin of the products used is the main focus. Ingredients such as juniper, tarragon and ginger are macerated in 150-year-old copper pots for 5 days before the single distillation. The taste Characterised by juniper and harmonious, floral nuances, the Hoxton Pink Gin is something completely different. Hibiscus sugar and a hint of grapefruit give the gin a balanced freshness and bitterness. The finish is dominated by rose hips, which remain on the palate until the next sip. Definitely not the flavours you would expect from a gin. It opens up new avenues for creative cocktails and is worth tasting!

Cubical Premium Special Dry Gin Kiss 0,7L 37,5%
Cubical Premium Special Dry Gin Kiss 0.7L 37.5% Origin The Cubical Gin range is the result of a collaboration between England and Spain. In 1920, the Langley Distillery, where the base alcohol is produced from English grain, was founded. The grain is distilled here in stills that are well over 100 years old. The marriage with the botanicals then takes place in the Bodega Williams & Humbert in Spain in the province of Andalusia. With a history spanning almost 140 years, the Bodega Williams & Humbert was founded in 1877 by Sir Alexander Williams and Arthur Humbert. They made a significant contribution to creating the designation of origin "Jerez-Xérès Brandy" and are one of the most influential manufacturers in the world. The bodega is one of the largest and most successful companies in the Jerez region. To date, Bodega Williams & Humbert sells its products in up to 80 countries worldwide. Cubical Premium Special Dry Gin Kiss The special bottles of the Cubical Gins are already an eye-catcher, but now the pink color immediately catches your eye, which is something you wouldn't expect from a dry gin. Cubical Premium Special Dry Gin Kiss is the youngest family member of the Cubical Gin range and is a combination of the eleven plants of the premium version and red fruits such as strawberries, raspberries and blueberries. In addition to the natural herbs and spices such as Buddha's hand (citron), juniper berries, coriander seeds and cassis bark, the water is taken from the surrounding groundwater area. Because the premium gin is rather neutral in taste and does not stand out with super exotic flavors, it is the ideal basis for a 'kiss' of berries. A light, dry and fruity gin on the nose. On the palate a very aromatic gin whose taste is entirely focused on the fruity, sweet notes of the berries. Served as a classic gin and tonic, it is a real treat if you like new, interesting combinations. Mixed with Seven Up or Sprit as a long drink or aperitif, especially in summer, it is an absolute highlight that you have to try!!!

Beefeater Pink Gin 1,0L 37,5%
Beefeater Pink Gin 1.0L 37.5% Pink gin has long been nothing unusual. And so Beefeater is also getting on this track with a pink gin, following the trend of breaking new ground, influencing the taste of gin with a wide variety of botanicals and giving it a new color. The story behind Beefeater Gin The Beefeater Distillery in Kennington has been producing gin according to a well-guarded recipe since its beginnings in the early 1800s. The distillery's headquarters itself has a lot of history: The Beefeater Distillery is located in an Edwardian house, which was extended in the 1950s. The distillery also has pot stills from the Victorian era and a botanical room where all the fresh ingredients are kept. In the 1820s, a London pharmacist developed a way to make gin from herbs, plants, spices and a grain distillate. He developed a special distillation process for this. Beefeater Gin is named after a guard of the Tower of London (gatekeepers) and you can even see a small picture of one of these men on the gin bottle. Fruity taste Beefeater Pink brings a breath of fresh air to the range and is a tribute to the London underground club scene. It is based on the original Beefeater London Dry Gin and is refined with the strawberry flavor after distillation. An aromatic gin on the nose, spicy juniper notes and fresh, sweet strawberries create a floral elegance. In the mouth, surprisingly, a not so fruity gin. A creamy vanilla flavour is then revealed in combination with a pinch of pepper and berry notes, but the typical juniper flavour is definitely not lost! The citrus aromas of the London Dry Gin are particularly prominent in Beefeater Gin. These are complemented by the fresh and fruity strawberry notes. A light and sweet gin that brings warmth and sweetness to the finish.

Edgerton Original Pink Dry Gin 1,0L 43%
Edgerton Original Pink Dry Gin 1.0L 43% In cooperation between Dr. Stuart and Martin Edgerton Gill, Edgerton Pink Gin was created in such a way that the end product combines the tradition of gin with modern toughness. Gill noticed early on that an excellent gin is not just about the aromas, color can also play an important role. This is how Gill came to create his first colored gin, the 'London No. 1 Blue Gin". Now another coloured variant follows with the Pink Gin. The Edgerton Pink Gin has a certain uniqueness with its appearance. The pink gin immediately catches your eye and draws attention to itself, and so the product advertises itself. When it came to the colour, however, care was taken not to add any artificial colouring, but to rely entirely on natural products. During development, Gill drew on his skills in tea making, which made him one of the first to make herbal teas in the 1980s. Aroma and taste: Classic notes are retained and complemented by a refreshing sophistication. In terms of taste, the Edgerton Pink Gin has managed to create the optimal balance between modern and well-known botanicals. In addition to the expected aromas, there is also a pleasant exotic fruitiness, which makes the gin invigorating and has a really refreshing effect.
