Bittermens Xocolatl Mole Bitters

Bittermens Xocolatl Mole Bitters is an artisanal cocktail ingredient inspired by the rich, complex flavors of Mexican mole sauce. Crafted using cacao nibs, cinnamon, and a blend of spices including allspice and chiles, these bitters deliver a deep, bittersweet profile with noticeable heat. The complexity comes from balancing the savory earthiness of the spices with the rich darkness of the chocolate. Unlike simple chocolate bitters, the Xocolatl Mole variety brings a textural warmth and a hint of smoke, making it indispensable for spirit-forward drinks. They work exceptionally well with aged spirits like Añejo tequila, dark rum, and bourbon. A few dashes can elevate classics like the Manhattan or Old Fashioned, lending a sophisticated, nuanced depth to the finished cocktail.
