The Bitter Truth Cocktail Flavoring Orange Bitters / 39% / 0.2l

The Bitter Truth was founded in 2006 by two Munich bartenders, Stephan Berg and Alexander Hauck.

The new company's primary business was to be the creation of cocktail spices, the so-called "bitters", which were hard to come by on the German market at the time. Both founders had considerable experience in using and preparing bitters, and also had collections of such spices - both those currently in production and those whose production had long been abandoned. In addition to cocktail spices, The Bitter Truth soon began producing liqueurs, in which these spices were an important ingredient, as well as rums and gins.

Orange cocktail seasoning was historically the first seasoning to appear on the market after aromatic bitters, when new distillation methods allowed for a more delicate spirit. The first orange seasonings appeared in the 1880s, at a time when classic cocktails such as the Manhattan or Martinez were created. Essential for making a dry martini. They are made using a combination of sweet and bitter orange peels and a number of herbs and spices macerated in alcohol.
