Bittermilk No.5 Charred Grapefruit Tonic with Bulls Bay Sea Salt - Handcrafted Cocktail Mixer

Bittermilk: Crafting Complex Cocktails with Fresh Ingredients

Bittermilk's No.5 Charred Grapefruit Tonic, with Bulls Bay Sea Salt, boasts a complex flavor profile – bitter and refreshing, with satisfying citrus notes. Made with fresh lime juice, Florida golden cane sugar, charred grapefruit peel, cinchona bark, and spices, this mixer pairs well with light spirits like vodka, gin, white rum, or silver tequila.

To create the perfect cocktail, mix equal parts Bittermilk No.5, vodka or white rum, and soda water over ice, garnishing with a lime wedge. Alternatively, try the Charred Grapefruit Margarita – shake equal parts tequila and Bittermilk No.5 with ice, then strain into a glass and garnish with a lime.

Bittermilk's roots trace back to the restaurant and bar industry, where the founders sought to simplify the process of making craft cocktails at home. After culinary training and industry experience, they set out to revive the reputation of bottled cocktail mixers, focusing on balance and quality.

"Bitterness is often a missing component of other overly sweet or sour pre-made mixers on the market," they explain. "Bittermilk uniquely highlights the bittering agents used in each mixer, along with sweet and acidic components, to achieve a balanced cocktail."

Handcrafted in Charleston, South Carolina, each Bittermilk product is made in-house using real, natural ingredients. Unique culinary techniques, such as barrel-aging, charring, and smoking, create complex flavor profiles.

Bittermilk No.5 is gluten-free and contains no artificial preservatives. Once opened, it should be refrigerated and used within a month. It's a versatile mixer, working well with a variety of spirits, or can be enjoyed as a non-alcoholic drink.

Bittermilk's commitment to quality has been recognized, with the Charred Grapefruit Tonic winning a SOFI Award from the Specialty Food Association.

Whether you're looking to elevate your home bartending game or seeking a thoughtful gift for the cocktail enthusiast in your life, Bittermilk's line of premium mixers offer a convenient way to craft complex, balanced cocktails.
