The Barmade Bitters Semi-Finals Underway!
Chinese-Five-Spice, Curry-Chocolate, Kumquat-Cranberry, Saffron and Celery. These are just a handful of bitters entered in TRU’s first Barmade Bitters Challenge. We tried them all in a blind tasting…with soda, then vodka, gin, bourbon, cognac and rum…and we’re still drunk!
We’ll post the semi finalists shortly.
Thanks to all who entered. You’re a talented bunch!
