Bartender’s Tips




Haus Alpenz

“I love using products like bitter liqueurs, fortifiers, high-proof rums are awesome. A gentleman by the name of Eric Seed of Haus Alpenz is responsible for bringing over products like Byrrh Grand Quinquina, Dolin Vermouths, Cocchi, Bonal, Zucca and Salers, not to mention he is a great wealth of knowledge if you want to learn about importing and exporting. We use them in Negroni and Manhattan variations, and also as aperitif cocktails.”

Salers Gentiane Liqueur

“We started out using Bittermens, but that soon became hard to get a hold of in bulk. Salers is another venerable French apéritif, made from gentian root and white wine. It’s funky, it’s weird, and it’s French. It has a bold flavor, with vegetal notes and a bit of a rooty finish.”
