Bittermens Winter Melon 150 mL

Winter Melon Bitters offer a bright, tart bitterness with refreshing cucumber notes and the distinct sourness of Chinese winter melon. Aromatic juniper berries add complexity, making these bitters a unique and versatile option for clear spirits.

Originally, the key ingredient, a hydrosol from cucumber, was available only in small batches after the harvest, limiting production to just a hundred cases a year. After experimenting for years to recreate the bitters without the hydrosol, we found an unexpected outcome: the winter melon’s tartness became more pronounced, with berry notes taking the spotlight and cucumber taking on a supporting role. The result? A bitterly sour, refreshing blend that pairs beautifully with gin and other clear spirits.
