What Are Bitters?
Long before any bartender added bitters to his cocktail, man had put a leaf into alcohol to preserve and extract its chemical constituents. This process, called tincturing, is an ancient method of giving what might have wilted away, an almost eternal life.
Taking roots, flowers, peels, leaves, or any other botanical matter and letting them soften and release their compounds into alcohol not only increases their longevity, but also their potency.
The blossoming of mixology in the 1800’s ushered in the golden age of cocktails. Bartenders like Jerry Thomas (1830-1885) began adding bitters to beverages for both their digestive properties and their ability to impart and balance flavors.
Before chemists extracted and replicated the chemicals of plants for pharmaceuticals in the late 19th century, tinctures were still one of the most prominent forms of medicine.
When Prohibition began in 1920, bitters as medicine could still be purchased from a drug store. However, they disappeared from the culinary world with the closure of bars and would not reemerge until the 1950’s. These events created a fracture in the use and public conception of bitters.
What was once a harmonious world of flavor and medicine became broken into two realms. Herbalism: the study of botany and use of medicinal plants, and bartending: the formulation and service of alcoholic or soft drinks.
Bennett Bitters is reconnecting these two pieces of the bitters puzzle. Through our philosophies of creation and production, the world of flavor and the history of herbal medicine meet again.
