About Strongwater: We created bold bitters designed to be powerful potions that could “heal the soul and spruce your cocktail.” Inspired by 16th century Strongwater shops where spirits were used as medicine to heal, we set out to create unique mountain elixirs for a more inspired take on bar staples. Today Strongwater empowers you to effortlessly craft world-class cocktails. Created in the Wild West of drinks, we mastered the rules of ancient alchemy before breaking them to make cutting-edge, modern mixers that lift your spirits.

Orange Bourbon:
Orange bitters is abundant in classic cocktail recipes. This version is a bourbon barrel aged bitters to differentiate from the typical vodka based orange bitters. Perfect for Old Fashioned's and any other whiskey based applications where a bourbon based bitters makes sense. -- fruit-forward, floral, and softly spiced -- offers an alternative to the one-note orange bitters that dominate the market. The secret’s in the hand-peeled orange zest, whose citrus oil smooths the edges of an exactingly calibrated mix of black walnut, gentian, clove, and cardamom. Evocative of fragrant orange groves, it’ll add new depth to any cocktail that calls for it, and has the versatility to match to any spirit.
Ingredients: Bourbon, orange peel, gentian, cardamom
Pairings: Whiskey, Bourbon
