Bitter Truth Orange Bitters 20cl
AED 79.00
Turns a “fine” cocktail into a “who made this?” moment. This German orange bitters hits with bright sweet-orange peel, a little bitter pith, and warm spice—exactly what your Old Fashioned, Negroni, and Martini variations have been missing. A few dashes add lift, structure, and that clean citrus snap that keeps drinks tasting sharp, not flat.
Your cocktails don’t need more stuff. They need the right stuff. This orange bitters is the easiest way to make classics taste tighter, brighter, and way more put-together—with just a few dashes.
Made in Germany by The Bitter Truth, it brings real orange character (peel, pith, and citrus oils) plus a gentle backbone of spice. Think of it like seasoning: you’re not making your drink “orangey,” you’re making it pop.
- Nose: Fresh orange peel, candied citrus, a hint of clove-like spice
- Taste: Zesty sweet-orange up front, bitter pith and dried spice through the middle; adds snap and balance
- Finish: Clean, dry citrus bitterness that lingers just long enough to sharpen the next sip
If you’re building a home bar, orange bitters is a non-negotiable. It’s a go-to for an Old Fashioned twist, it brightens a Negroni, and it’s killer in a Martini riff when you want citrus without juice. It also plays nicely with whisky, gin, rum, and even sparkling drinks when you want extra lift.
What you’ll notice right away: drinks taste more “complete.” The citrus oils pull aromas up, the bitterness keeps sweetness in check, and the spice notes stitch everything together so your cocktail doesn’t feel like a bunch of ingredients arguing.
You don’t have to be a cocktail nerd to use it. Add a couple dashes, taste, and adjust. That’s it. It’s forgiving, it’s versatile, and it makes your bar cart look like you mean business.
Fun fact: The Bitter Truth was started by two Munich bartenders who helped kick off the modern bitters comeback—basically, they made bitters cool again.
