What is Bittermens Elemakule Tiki Bitters?
Bittermens Elemakule Tiki Bitters bring the essence of tropical cocktails to your home bar with their unique blend of cinnamon, allspice, and island spices. These bitters were inspired by a long-forgotten recipe discovered in an old notebook from the 1930s, belonging to a bartender who worked in pre-Prohibition New Orleans and later opened a bar in Havana during the golden age of tropical cocktails.
Why do we love Bittermens Elemakule Tiki Bitters?
Cocktail enthusiasts should embrace Bittermens Elemakule Tiki Bitters for their ability to instantly transport any drink to a tropical paradise with just a few dashes. Unlike traditional rum-based tiki ingredients, these bitters combine cinnamon, allspice, and island spices with a unique falernum-like lime element, allowing bartenders to add complex tiki flavors to cocktails without the need for multiple syrups or liqueurs.
How do you drink Bittermens Elemakule Tiki Bitters?
Bittermens Elemakule Tiki Bitters shine brightest in tropical and rum-based cocktails, adding a complex spice profile that enhances the drink without overpowering it.

Nose: Warm cinnamon and allspice dominate, backed by notes of fresh ginger and citrus peel. A subtle undercurrent of molasses and vanilla adds depth.
Palate: Intense cinnamon and clove hit first, followed by a wave of ginger heat. Bitter orange peel and cardamom emerge, balanced by hints of dark brown sugar. The spices are bold but not overwhelming, with a pleasant bitterness throughout.
Finish: Long and warming, with lingering notes of allspice, cinnamon, and ginger. The bitterness becomes more pronounced, leaving a dry, spicy tingle on the tongue. A faint sweetness reminiscent of cola lingers in the background.
Bittermens Elemakule Tiki Bitters are crafted using a unique blend of spices and botanicals, including cinnamon, allspice, and falernum-inspired flavors, which are macerated in a high-proof spirit base. What's fascinating about their production is the use of both traditional bittering agents and tropical aromatics, creating a complex flavor profile that bridges the gap between classic cocktail bitters and the vibrant world of tiki drinks.
