Bitters
Bitters at Bouchon covers both cocktail-use aromatic bitters and bitter-style aperitif and digestif liqueurs the distinction being more about use occasion than regulatory category. The common thread is botanical complexity built around bitter principles: gentian, cinchona bark, wormwood, and regional herbs and spices form the base of most expressions. As a class, bitters are the most intensely flavoured spirits in the catalogue and the ones where smallest volumes have the largest impact on flavour.
Massenez (Alsace) leads the Bouchon bitters range with an extensive lineup of aromatic bitters and digestif liqueurs drawing on the Alsatian fruit and herb distillation tradition. Maidenii (Macedon Ranges, Victoria) produces Australian vermouth and aperitif bitters with locally-foraged botanicals. Dolin (Chambery, Savoie) primarily known for their Chambery vermouth also produces bitters alongside the vermouth range.

Do not shake this one, we want to keep a control of the dilution. Pour your ingredients in your glass, add a big ice cube and give a gentle stir. The more you stir, the more your cocktail will be diluted. It’s up to you to find the right balance!
