Stopped into Extra Fancy in Williamsburg the other night to try some spring scotch cocktails–a capital notion. E.F.’s Monday crewTom “Tojo” Johnson and Eric Job were serving up some frisky numbers using whiskies from the Edrington portfolio (cocktail list below). We were pleased to see our Rhubarb BittersRead the Rest…

New Shops around the US of A carrying BHB
We’ve working with a couple sweet new retailers around the country–in the case of Hey Rooster General Store in Nashville, very very new. The artisanal, crafty handmade good store with one of the better names in recent memory just opened in the last week of April, and we’re pleased toRead the Rest…
Black Mission Fig Sour or: Martha, Martha, Martha!
Back in October I was involved in rounding up bartenders for Martha Stewart’s “American Made” awards event that was held in a made-over Vanderbilt Hall at Grand Central Station. Still not quite sure how this happened, but I was the point man between the production team and some seriously blueRead the Rest…
New BHB Press from The Empire State to The Golden Gate.
Why the Jessica Lange Bruce Weber photo? That’s pretty much how we felt when we got a couple great mentions this week, in both The SF Bay Guardian & The NYT Magazine. (The Times Magazine had Jessica Lange on the same page, which sparked the image search.) The lovely VirginiaRead the Rest…
Black Mission Fig Bitters & Where To Find Them.
Our Black Mission Fig Bitters have had a big month or so, getting mentioned in the New York Times (a coup), and by the lovely ladies of Gastronomista, and by the fit lads of Men’s Health, and in one very fig lovin’ gift guide from The Fig And The Pig,Read the Rest…
Apples, Figs, Sandy Denny & Late November.
Woke up early Sunday morning, opened the New York Times Magazine and read Rosie Schaap’s marvelously evocative essay on cool fall nights and how they make her crave apple cider drinks, a great piece of writing that manages to fold in the proto alt-folk music of Sandy Denny and FairportRead the Rest…
A Very Figgy & Very Adult Milkshake.
I’ve known Simon Lange, chef at Apartment 138 (138 Smith Street in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn), since he played high school soccer with my kid brother in Key West. When I first was getting interested in bitters a couple years ago, we took a road trip to Maine for another kid brother’sRead the Rest…
We’ll Take Manhattan Or: In Which We Make An Uncredited Appearance in the NYT
Here’s a fine piece on Manhattans and the many approaches one can take (up vs. rocks, rye vs. bourbon, perfect versus sweet) from Rosie Schaap in this weekend’s NYT Magazine. In a graphic sidebar patron-saint-to-bitters-makers Brad Thomas Parsons lays out some bitters that one might use one one’s Manhattan’s toRead the Rest…
In which BHB finally (officially) arrives in Australia.
It’s hard to overstate our excitement at securing Australian distribution with Only Bitters. Not only is this our first proper oversees distributor, but we have a special love for Australia–I’ve written about the bars in Darlinghurst for T Magazine, and of course our first inspiration to bottle our bitters cameRead the Rest…
Daniele Dalla Polla’s “Puki Puki Downfall”
Prince always makes a big deal out of making sure his fans are referred to as “friends”, because fan is short for “fanatic”. Given that he’s a Jehovah’s Witness now and no longer performs songs like “Soft & Wet” or “Darling Nikki”because they are against God’s chaste will or someRead the Rest…
