Bitter Truth

View Full Description [+ Read More]

The Bitter Truth is a German bitters producer founded by bartenders Alexander Hauck and Stephan Berg in Munich, crafting a range of cocktail bitters and bar ingredients built on historical recipes. Each expression uses macerated botanicals as its base, with products like the Old Time Aromatic and Jerry Thomas Own Decanter Bitters drawing directly from pre-Prohibition formulas. The Orange Bitters and Celery Bitters address classic cocktail applications, while the Cucumber Bitters and Bogarts Bitters extend into more contemporary flavor profiles. Orange Flower Water rounds out the range as a non-bitter aromatic ingredient. The Travelers Pack bundles multiple expressions for portability, while single bottles like Jerry Thomas Own Decanter Bitters represent the brand's most historically grounded work.
