Hella Cocktail Co =

Rooted in cocktail culture and digestive health, bitters are the bartender's spice cabinet, and a classic cure-all promoting healthy digestion and anti-inflammation. Hella Cocktail Co combines premium sparkling water with their housemade bitters made of fresh fruit peels, gentian root, and botanicals. Perfect for sipping after a heavy meal, crushable as an alcohol-free cocktail, and equally delightful when mixed with spirits. Try earthy ginger turmeric, crisp and refreshing grapefruit, and the bittersweet aromatic spritz.

Underberg

While classified as a bitter, Underberg truly belongs in a class of its own. Unique and inimitable, the recipe and processing methods for creating Underberg's flavor profile has been held secret and guarded jealously by members of the Underberg family ever since the recipe was perfected in 1846. This premier bitter contains only water, alcohol, and selected aromatic herbal extracts from 43 different countries. Underberg is widely known as the quintessential after-dinner digestif, and is the most effective cure to the overindulgence that so often accompanies holiday gatherings. Pick up a few bottles with your Thanksgiving wine, and grab a few extra for Christmas stocking stuffers!

Artemisia Bitters

Located in Bentonville, VA, the heart of Artemisia Farm is a polyculture, bioregional approach to cultivation. They integrate regionally matched crops with naturally disease-resistant grape varietals in a balanced equilibrium of viticulture and agriculture. Their bitters are made using native botanicals which capture the subtleties of the landscape, blending the medicinal and the artisanal into an intentional experience. Using plants native to the region, they create a more sustainable cocktail narrative. Bitters can impart a huge amount of flavor with little to no calories and relatively low alcohol by volume, making them a fantastic component for those sticking to zero-proof libations. Each flavor speaks deeply to a specific memory or place; morning frost, faded bonfires, the last leaves before autumn, the warm hearth of community on an icy winter day.
