BG Reynolds Xtabay bitters are based on a traditional blend of aromatic bitters and sweet absinthe used in dozens if not hundreds of traditional tiki drinks. BG Reynolds Xtabay bitters bring depth and a sense of mystery to every cocktail they meet. The aromatics fill in the rests between measures, while herbs help the flavors linger longer. Our secret blend of spices and herbs may never be made known in their entirety, but praise for your cocktails will be sung through the ages with just 3 dashes of BG Reynolds Xtabay bitters.
What we can tell you is that BG Reynolds Xtabay bitters are made with a blend of spices and herbs steeped in aged overproof rum, with no artificial colors or flavors. Each component brings something special. Sour cherry is added for its famed tartness, and adds a rich fruity and juicy flavor as well as a reddening hue. A spice blend of cardamom, clove, and cinnamon bring their savory sensations to play, filling in any gaps in the flavor of the cocktail and adding a touch of taste that you'll crave. Of course, sweet fennel and aniseed help recreate the sugarless sweet and long lasting flavor of absinthe, and gentian brings true bitterness to balance everything out. One surprising ingredient BG Reynolds found to be crucial is cracked black peppercorn, which elevates every other aromatic herb, and brings staying power to the bitters, leaving a pleasant taste and sensation on the palate long into the sip.
BG Reynolds Xtabay bitters find a home in just about every drink calling for that 1-2 punch of aromatic bitters and absinthe. Need a little extra zip in your zombie? Those cracked black peppercorns bring it in spades. Jazz up your Jet Pilot with the tartness of sour cherry and a savory blend of spices. Your 151 Swizzle will be wonderful with our sweet herbaceous flavors balancing out the heat of the 151.
But why use BG Reynolds Xtabay bitters instead of the classic combination in your cocktails? We can't blame you for sticking with what works, but BG Reynolds is designed specifically with the home tiki bartender in mind, made to match the intense flavors of a properly made modern tiki cocktail. Having an already blended bitters means no more accidental herbal overdoses of absinthe, which tend to overtake the flavor of the cocktail. Having it all in one bottle is darn convenient.
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 Xtabay bitters are in a 5oz. bottle with customer dasher top.
