Spicy Bitters #9 (2 oz)
Spicy Bitters #9 (2 oz)
Ah, Spicy Bitters #9! These bitters were inspired by watching our friend Mikayla try to spice up some Bloody Marys for some picky customers. “It needs more spice!” they kept exclaiming — right up to the point they said, “Now it just tastes like Louisiana hot sauce.” We decided then and there that bartenders need something to spice up drinks that didn’t lean too much on any one pepper.
We take 8 different types of peppers, add some mace (the dried lacy coating around a nutmeg seed), and let everything infuse for about a month. The result is a complex heat that starts strong, finishes well, yet doesn’t burn off your face or overtake the drink’s other ingredients.
And to honor our bartender friend’s trials and triumphs behind the stick, we ship every 20th bottle with a special “Mikayla’s Spicy Bitters” label. Here’s to you, Mikayla!
