Maidenii Roselle (750ml)AUSTRALIA$49. 99Bottle$599.88 DozenABV: 22%Roselle is the common name for Hibiscus Sabdariffa. The bright red calyx at the base of its bloom adds colour and flavour to Maidenii’s new bitter. These vibrant colours and flavour are blended with 23 other botanicals including Australian natives, such as Strawberry Gum, Tasmanian pepper berry and Salt Bush. The bitterness comes from various roots, in particular gentian from Aubrac in the centre of France.
Roselle’s wine-base is Heathcote-grown Nebbiolo and Mourvèdre fermented as rosé, which is fortified with the unique blend of botanical tinctures. Sugars are entirely residual from the grapes, at around 100 g/l. The dryer, aperitivo style of bitter produced lends itself to a variety of pours. Serve neat as a digestif, with soda or try a local twist on the Negroni. 22% Alc./Vol.

Martini Riserva Speciale Bitter (750ml)ITALY$47. 99Bottle$575.88 DozenABV: 28.5%A bitters based on M&R founder Luigi Rossi's 19th century recipe, with Master Herbalist, Ivano Tonutti, selecting three rare botanicals (Saffron, Angostura and Columba), to create richness and complexity through different dimensions of bitterness. The colour is derived from the cochineal beetle, as per the original 1872 recipe. It's also rested in the same Tino casks used for M&R Vermouth extracts, and shares the common botanical, Italian Artemisia. Given that the Negroni market in America has spiked in the last five years (currently dominated by Campari and Aperol), Martini recommended it for just that. Tasting note: Translucent ruby red. Attractive blood orange peel and grapefruit opening whiffs also offer rooty, earthy, bitter scents suggesting juniper and quinine. Viscous, juicy, medium sweet delivery with the orange notes balanced by grapefruit, quinine and herbal bitterness. Finish is mildly warming with faint quinine and citrus peel lingering. Nicely rounded. Will add mouthfeel and body to cocktails. 28.5% Alc./Vol Other reviews... 5 stars - diffordsguide.com![5518181081_1.jpg]()

![Regans No.6 Orange Bitters (148ml)]()
Regans No.6 Orange Bitters (148ml)New Orleans, Louisiana, UNITED STATES$24. 99Bottle$299.88 DozenABV: 45%Closure: CorkIn pre-Prohibition days, a cocktail, by definition, was not a cocktail if it didn’t contain bitters. Which is why mixologists who look back longingly to that golden age for inspiration are in a frenzy over Regans’ Orange Bitters No. 6, cocktails historian Gary Regan’s brand-new elixir. Like adding vinegar to temper the sweetness and round out the flavour of certain dishes, adding bitters to cocktails provides balance and complexity. But unlike Peychaud’s and Angostura brands, orange bitters are hard to come by. So when Regan couldn’t find any to his liking, he decided to cook up a batch of his own. It took six attempts and a trip to a witches’-supply store in Greenwich Village—presumably Kalustyan’s was a bust—before he got the recipe down. The tasty brew of orange zest, cardamom, cinchona, caraway, coriander, gentian, quassia, and a few other occult staples is fast becoming a hot commodity on the mixologist circuit. 45% Alc./Vol.

Bold celery salt on a poppy seed hot dog bun aroma with turmeric, clay, crayon and a slight ironed fabric note. On the palate, very dimensional and stalky with an earthy, fresh out of the ground, celery quality. In the pisco sour, the effect is to amplify the bitterness of the citrus, the pepperiness of the pisco, and the astringency of the finish. This is a bit of a clash in this cocktail, but it's very pure and earthy celery character should work better in a more savory cocktail.

 -Tales of the Cocktail New Orleans 2010 for their Creole and Celery Bitters.Orange bitters date back as far as the 1880s. Pre-prohibition, they were the focus in literally hundreds of cocktails such as the ‘Bronx’, and are still an essential ingredient for the preparation of a Classic Martini Cocktail.
The Bitter Truth Orange Bitters are a combination of bitter orange peel and several herbs and spices, macerated in alcohol for near thirty days. They have been described as one of the spicier (cardamom, cinnamon, coriander) offerings on the market whilst still retaining its orange essence.

The Bitter Truth Original Celery Bitters (200ml)GERMANY$24. 99Bottle$299.88 DozenABV: 44%Closure: CorkA lost ingredient. Defunct for decades. Now revived to please the most discriminating palate. The Bitter Truth Celery Bitters is the first celery bitters to be offered commercially in decades. This cocktail ingredient, which had already existed in the 19th century, enriches cocktails with unusual flavors. It’s ideal for traditional corpse-reviver cocktails such as the Bloody Mary, Bullshot and Prairie Oyster, as well as Martini Cocktails and the Gin & Tonic.
Very complex and exotic. The initial flavor of celery is dominant, leading into a complex palate with aromas of lemongrass, orange peel and ginger. Take your Bloody Marys to the next level.
Other reviews... The vegetal quality these bitters add to cocktails is quite unique. I’ve found its union with tequila to be nearly perfect. They’re another shining example of cocktail’s past molding its future. - Brian Miller, Death & Company NYC

The Bitter Truth Jerry Thomas' Own Decanter Bitters (200ml)GERMANY$24. 99Bottle$299.88 DozenABV: 30%Closure: CorkThe works of 'Professor' Jerry Thomas would be a staple requirement for those in the business of creating cocktails. He has been credited as the first celebrity bartender, pioneering the art of mixology through publications such as The Bar-Tender’s Guide (alternately titled How to Mix Drinks or The Bon-Vivant’s Companion) all back in the late 19th century!
Within this book, arose a unique bitters recipe consisting of raisons, various citrus fruits and spices, designed to be served with Caribbean Rum inside a large decanter (hence its name). These bitters were a sensation in its day, so it's not surprising to learn of its reformulation by the folks at the Bitter Truth Company, who have been busy reviving a swag of other old-time classics.

Delicate to the nose, these bitters can stand up to aggressive drinks. Give a modern twist to a classic Gin and Tonic with a couple of dashes of Maraschino and the Grapefruit Bitters – or add dashes to a Daiquri or Paloma to add a new layer of complexity to cocktails that traditionally didn’t include bitters.
