Fee Brothers Cherry Bitters, 15 cl

Product Information

Like vanilla extract, bitters contain alcohol, and both are very potent —you wouldn’t want to drink either one plain. The human response to bitterness developed over the process of evolution to protect humans from the consumption of toxic substances. Oftentimes plants, fruits, bark, or herbs that were bitter were toxic. Over time that meant humans developed a sensitivity to bitterness as a defense mechanism to protect us. I hope you liked this cherry Manhattan recipe. Hopefully, it doesn’t stop you from enjoying a plain bourbon Manhattan. Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.

JGB Siegert created Angostura bitters to cure malaria and stomach ailments for soldiers in 1824. He created them in the city Angostura in Venezuela but his formulation didn’t have angostura bark in them. Siegert was a shrewd businessman. He sued companies using angostura in their name (even though there is a bark angostura that can be used in bitters). From the history it appears he sued many other bitters companies out of business. Also, take two maraschinos out of the jar of cherries, rinse the syrup off, and set aside for the garnish. Pin Step twoFor a maple manhattan, you might try pecan bitters or orange bitters.

He got away with it. He was the only U.S. bitters company to survive Prohibition. Some bottles come with a plastic dasher, a plastic stopper with a small hole, while others come with an eyedropper or a spray nozzle.
