DR. ADAM'S COCKTAIL BITTERS ORINOCO AROMATIC BITTERS

Originally produced by the Blemmerg Manufacturing Company in Boston during the late 1800s, Orinoco Aromatic Bitters were the bitters selected to feature throughout George Winter’s book, ‘How to Mix Drinks: The Barkeeper’s Handbook’. In fact, it was a full-page advert in this aforementioned tome that inspired their creation and subsequent global launch in 2012 as a collaboration with The Dead Rabbit in New York. Named after one of the longest rivers in South America which runs through Colombia and predominantly Venezuela, Orinoco Aromatic Bitters hark back to a bygone era but also embrace modern cocktail culture, giving bartenders the opportunity to recreate former classics but also construct their own.
