Bitters Are Better

Bitters have been around for hundreds of years. All the way back to the ancient Egyptians, they infused medicinal herbs in jars of wine. In the 1800s bitters were used as a medicine for relieving stomach pain.

During the American prohibition, many bitter companies closed their doors for good and a lot of recipes were lost. And it was very hard to get.
