Deep Chocolate with Warm Spice 🍫✨
Formerly known as Spiced Cocoa Bitters, our Chocolate Bitters are a true labor of love. Made with cacao nibs that are naturally grown, fermented, dried, before being roasted to perfection by New Orleans chocolatier Piety & Desire, these bitters deliver intense chocolate flavor layered with oaky whiskey notes, a clean bitter finish, and a gentle lift of cayenne pepper. Rich, aromatic, and deeply satisfying, they bring luxurious depth to anything you mix.
How to Mix:
These bitters shine with bourbon, rye, and aged rum, where the chocolate and spice play beautifully with warm woodsy spirits. They are fantastic in tiki inspired drinks, Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, and any milk punch that deserves a decadent edge. Add a few drops to coffee or hot cocoa for an instant upgrade. Chocolate Bitters add dimension to spirit free recipes too, offering serious flavor without sweetness.
Why You Will Love It:
• Made with cocoa nibs from local chocolatier Piety & Desire
• Rich chocolate flavor with gentle spice

What are Chocolate Bitters?
Bitters are concentrated flavor. A few dashes season a drink the way salt and pepper season a dish. Ours are made with glycerin instead of alcohol, so they are alcohol free and work in any glass, with or without the booze.
