Scrappy’s Bitters Cardamom is a cocktail bitters made with cardamom as the primary flavoring agent. The warm, spicy cardamom notes are supported by a fresh breath of citrus. Scrappy’s recommends it for rum punch or in a hot toddy. It also works well in cocktails with bourbon or tequila.
Serving suggestion: Use in very small quantities in cocktails, gin & tonics or sparkling water.
Release the pure essence of cardamom balanced with delicate citrus. Whether you’re making a heady rum punch or wistful warming toddy, cardamom bitters add a potent kick to your mix.

Bitters are not just an ingredient in classics like the Old Fashioned and Manhattan, they are also a shortcut to completely new flavors and deep complexity in your drink. The extra dimension that bitters can give a cocktail has given rise to the nickname “bartender’s salt and pepper”. A few drops in a gin & tonic, for example, can change the experience drastically!
Scrappy’s Bitters was founded by bartender Miles Thomas, who was fed up with bitters of questionable quality and decided to embark on his own bitters project. After years of experimenting with extractions and infusions, he got the result he wanted. Each batch is made with organic ingredients of the highest quality, without artificial additives or coloring.
