About The Bitter Truth Bogart's Bitters

BOGART’S BITTERS can arguably be said to have started the cocktail movement; as it was the first ever mentioned bitters in the very first cocktail book published in 1862, written by the most famous bartender of those days, Jerry Thomas – a name, synonymous; with the first golden age of the; cocktail. Although no bottles of the Jerry Thomas era ever surfaced, the common belief is that Bogart’s was a kind of misspelling of Boker’s ;Bitters at that time. Still the impact for the development of the cocktail is without question. Before other bitters appeared in cocktail recipes around the world, there was Bogart’s Boker’s; A beautifully balanced and versatile cocktail bitter, it was even called for by name in the first Martini recipe, printed in 1888, where one was instructed to use “genuine” Bogart’s/Boker’s, indicating that this most; popular bitters had weak imitations floating; around. And this makes sense, for if one actually tasted one of the very few remaining bottles of original Bogart’s/Boker’s bitters, they would discover that this magnificent bitter; is not a cardamom bomb, but rather a beautiful; mix of dark spice and chocolatey coffee that can only be achieved by using a very expensive herb, an ingredient that others use sparingly due to cost, but also to the ;detriment of the final product.
