Dive into Dark Delights: A Comprehensive Guide to Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters (15cl)

Indulge your senses with Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters, a 15cl bottle of rich, complex flavour designed to elevate your cocktail creations. Here at The General Wine, we're passionate about exploring the depths of every ingredient, and Fee Brothers' Aztec Chocolate Bitters offer a world of discovery for the curious drinker.

A Bitters Backstory:

The Fee Brothers name is synonymous with quality bitters, and their Aztec Chocolate expression takes inspiration from the Aztec civilization's love affair with cacao. The Aztecs enjoyed a bitter, spiced version of hot chocolate, and these bitters capture that essence, offering a deeply satisfying exploration of chocolate's potential beyond sweetness.

Tasting Profile:

The moment you uncork the bottle, a wave of intense dark chocolate engulfs your nose. Hints of cinnamon, chili pepper, and vanilla peek through, creating a captivating tapestry of aromas. On the palate, the rich chocolate takes centre stage, balanced by a subtle bitterness that lingers pleasantly. The warmth of the chili pepper adds a touch of intrigue, while the vanilla provides a touch of sweetness that keeps things harmonious.

Beyond the Basics:

While the "Aztec" in the name might suggest a fiery experience, these bitters are surprisingly well-balanced. The chili pepper adds a subtle warmth rather than an overpowering heat. This makes Fee Brothers Aztec Chocolate Bitters incredibly versatile, allowing them to shine in a wide variety of cocktails.

Serving Suggestions:

Classic Cocktails with a Twist:

  • Old Fashioned: Give this timeless drink a decadent upgrade. Add 2 dashes of Aztec Chocolate Bitters alongside your usual sugar and bitters for a touch of dark chocolate magic.
  • Manhattan: Swap out the traditional angostura bitters for Aztec Chocolate Bitters in your Manhattan recipe. The result? A richer, more complex cocktail with a hint of spice.

Creative Concoctions:

  • Mexican Mule: Combine tequila, lime juice, ginger beer, and 2 dashes of Aztec Chocolate Bitters for a refreshing and spicy twist on the classic Moscow Mule.
