Many tiki drinks are a delicate balance between citrus and spice, sour and sweet. One errant drop of either can create a cacophony of jumbled flavors. This is where BG Reynolds Primitiva bitters shine, giving balance to your spiced citrus cocktails, and conducting harmony from the aromas and flavors of every ingredient. Just 3 dashes of BG Reynolds Primitiva bitters, and the din will disappear into the divine.

BG Reynolds Primitiva bitters are made with premium spices and natural extracts, blended with aged overproof rum. Gentian is used as the traditional bittering agent, balancing out any overly sweet components of the cocktail. We include a mixture of cassia and ceylon cinnamons, ensuring both the spicy intensity of the cassia as well as the earthy rich flavor of ceylon cinnamon. Molasses is used to intensify the flavor with its slightly bitter, almost salty flavor and adds a dark hue to the bitters. A custom blend of aromatic citrus oils rounds everything out with an intensity of flavor you can never get with juice alone.

BG Reynolds Primitiva bitters are intended for use as an aromatic bitters replacement in any drink with a hefty dose of citrus or spice, adding crucial balance to the cocktail while also enhancing the natural flavors of the ingredients. Try a few dashes to make something new out of your Nui Nui. Set sail for flavor with a few dashes in your Navy Grog, and add some punch to your Painkiller.

Not just for classic tiki cocktails, the wonderful enhancing flavor of BG Reynolds Primitiva bitters can be used in dozens of classic cocktails to add a little extra something to them. 3 dashes in a Margarita will make it a whole new flavor experience. A dash in a Daiquiri adds depth and mystery. Even just a few dashes in some soda water makes a delightful summer sipper.

BG Reynolds released his bitters with a promise, just 3 dashes will do. We've tasted a lot of the modern bitters on the market, and so many of them just don't do the same job as the classics. They can be delicious, but lack strength of flavor, often requiring almost a half ounce before you can even start to understand what they're doing in your drink. BG Reynolds has unlocked the secrets to bitters with a purpose. We've also developed a unique dasher top that assists with aim and accuracy, making sure you have more bitters in your shaker than on your bartop.

BG Reynolds Primitiva bitters are in a 5oz. bottle with customer dasher top.
