Dr. Adam Elmegirab's Boker's Bitters 100ml

Description

Originally founded by Johann Gottlieb Bker in 1828, Bokers Bitters gained popularity around the world as the finest bitters of the Golden Age of mixed drinks in the 1800s. Bokers were famously the preferred brand of Professor Jerry Thomas, featuring throughout his book, How to Mix Drinks or The Bon Vivants Companion; now recognised as the Worlds first bartenders guide. Despite being unequalled when used in the refined drinks of the bar, the devastating effect of The Volstead Act, commonly referred to as Prohibition, closed the Bokers company in the 1920s. Tasting and analysing original samples, referencing historical medical guides, as well as unearthing court records and a series of counterfeit recipes dating as far back as 1853, I used these findings to reformulate a historically accurate representation of Bokers Bitters and brought them back to market at the end of 2009. With their return Bokers have regained their rightful place and are again being used globally by bartenders in classics such as the Japanese Cocktail, Martinez, Crusta and Improved Cocktail, as well as a multitude of new libations from this second Golden Age of mixology.
