Bitter Bastards Cocoa Bitters – 10 cl

These Cocoa Bitters from the Bitter Bastards range won't make your drinks taste like you've been slapped in the face with one of those hilariously oversized 1kg chocolate bars which were so popular in the late 1990s/early 2000s. Rather, they'll add richness and depth similar to that of a good dark chocolate to your cocktails - we recommend rum-based cocktails...

It is an infusion of bittere herbs, aromatic plants and fruit in alcohol and water. The blend is a secret family recipe, originally created by Gaspare Campari in 1860 in Novara, Italy. It is versatile and fits in well with classic cocktails, without losing its strong and unique taste. It is perfect for the Negroni.
