I met owner of Bitters Lab, Andrea Latimer in 2018 through our mutual friend, cocktail nerd Chelsea Nelson (@ritualandcraft), and we’ve worked on several projects since then including swag for her brand, new label designs for all of her flavors, and packaging for her collaboration with Uncle Nearest.
We are thrilled to have a set of their bestselling bitters in the shop for Holiday ‘22. The Aromatic are hands down my favorite bitters for a Manhattan, Old Fashioned, or just added to a whiskey on the rocks. In celebration of this addition to our seasonal offerings we are sharing a recipe of theirs that we adore, the Black Manhattan.
