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!
