These were created in 1828 by John G Boker. They became very popular in New York and they were synonymous with the "golden age" of cocktail making. They were used throughout Jerry Thomas's book "How to Mix Drinks or The Bon Vivant's Companion" famously known as the first bartender's guide.
It’s wonderful to have an accessible interpretation of the original cocktail bitters. These are excellent in pre-Prohibition cocktails: a good bitterness, with a warm clove note on top. Do not expect something as versatile as Angostura, but when a cocktail calls for a bitter note, Dr Adam’s Boker’s Bitters are just the thing!
Really nice tasting addition to a cocktail or a gin or vodka.
I wouldn’t buy these
Original and the best.
These are lighter than Angostura (not a bad thing) & well worth a look - make a great Old Fashioned with lemon & orange twists.
