I started making bitters out of necessity. I was working in a small market and bitters were nearly impossible to find. At the start, I was just throwing sticks and roots and dried flowers in overproof booze and hoping for the best. Things have changed a bit since then. Now I weigh the sticks and roots and dried flowers before throwing them in overproof booze, and I gave up hope long ago. Dove Shanks Bitters is still a one man operation. Build better cocktails, and drink bitters. |
