About Us
Our story is really pretty simple: We love cocktails.
And we continue to be amazed that from such simple ingredients — spirits, water, sugar, and bitters — the sheer variety of flavor combinations is virtually endless.
We’re rather particular about the cocktails we drink. We like great tasting cocktails made from quality ingredients. But after decades of experimentation, we realized that we - like many - were paying attention only to the spirits and sugar in our drinks. For some reason, we never realized that superior bitters can take cocktails to the next level.
Perhaps you’re wondering why bitters can make such a difference. If so, a quick explanation might help: bitters are made by infusing neutral spirits with various flavors — typically roots, barks, seeds, fruits, and other aromatics. By combining different but complementary flavors, bitters can add layers of interest to a cocktail. For example, our bitters typically have over 15 all-natural ingredients, each of which is specifically added to impart a wonderful, nuanced complexity to your next cocktail.
After this epiphany, we started making our own bitters to deliver the up-leveled experience we wanted in our cocktails. We painstakingly made trial after trial of bitters and cocktails until we got it just right. After the first tailgate (Go State!) where we served cocktails made with our own bitters, we realized we were on to something special: We had so many requests to purchase our bitters, we started Baldies Bitters just a few days later.
So here we are, four years after that fateful tailgate with two bitters available for you to purchase (and more in the pipeline).
Just a dash of our bitters will transform your cocktail’s profile from bland and unbalanced into a tasty delight. We are confident that your cocktails will never be the same.
We sincerely hope you enjoy Baldies Bitters. They truly are the Cure for the Common Cocktail.
