Common Questions
  • What are bitters?

    Bitters are the flavoring element that brings your cocktail together, adding depth and character to every sip. Sort of like how seasoning can make a good meal truly exceptional, bitters are designed to complement and enhance your drink, turning every sip into something truly special. Bluegrass Bitters™ are meticulously crafted to provide flavors of spices, fruits, and barks into your drink. With our bitters, you can create a unique drink that’s as rich and warm as a Kentucky sunset.

    One of the questions that Shawn gets most often is whether bitters contain alcohol. Well, most bitters have a base of bourbon, rye, or neutral alcohol that has been infused with concentrated flavors.  For Bluegrass Bitters™, we only use Kentucky alcohol as the backbone for our products. 

    Our Smoky Simple Syrup isn’t a bitters. As a syrup, its base is Kentucky water and it is non-alcoholic.

Bitters are a natural product, so a little settling can occur. It’s best to give the bottle a little shake each time before you use them. Also, don’t let your bitters sit around too long.  They’ll last forever, but if you don’t remember when you bought that bottle, it’s time to get a fresh one.
