Scrappy’s Bitters Firewater Tincture is a cocktail ingredient that stands out a bit from the rest of the bitters expert’s portfolio. Firewater is not a bitter, but a tincture made from habanero chili. It is not bitter, but it is quite strong, so we recommend careful use in cocktails with rum, tequila and mezcal where you want a little extra heat.
Serving suggestions: Use in very small quantities in cocktails and long drinks.
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!
Fire Tincture is Scrappy’s first official non-bitter product release! Perfect for adding pure spice and heat to any drink or dish without compromising the integrity of the base ingredients, this Firewater habanero tincture balances the heat of habanero peppers with delicate floral notes and subtle sweetness. It should be noted to exercise caution in handling and use very sparingly as this tincture is extremely spicy.

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.
