The Original Savory Bitters

Once considered a lost ingredient and absent from the cocktail world for decades, celery bitters have been revived with The Bitter Truth Celery Bitters — the first commercially available celery bitters in generations. Recognized as the 2010 “Best New Cocktail Ingredient” at Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans, these bitters quickly became a favorite among discerning bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts.

Originally known in 19th-century mixology, celery bitters bring an intriguing savory complexity to modern cocktails. The Bitter Truth Celery Bitters feature an aromatic bouquet of white grapes, Sencha tea, lemongrass, celery leaf, and fresh ginger root. On the palate, layers of coriander seed, fresh celery, and chicory create a vibrant and refined flavor experience.

These bitters are ideal for classic savory cocktails such as the Bloody Mary, Red Snapper, Bullshot, and Prairie Oyster, while also enhancing timeless drinks like the Dry Martini and Gin & Tonic. They pair exceptionally well with grassy spirits too — try them in a Ti Punch for a uniquely memorable twist.
