There are more bitters coming on the market every day. Bitters are an easy way to add relevancy and flavor to your cocktails and menu. 

Drinking Vinegars and  Bitter Liquors are making their way to more menus….. slowly.  

West and East coasts lead this trend.

Eater: When cocktail meets mocktail, the "session" drink is born.

• Shims• Low Proof • Shrub Shim• Suppressor• Spritzers• Session Cocktails 

Low‐alcohol cocktails = drinks made with mostly low‐proof liquor (under 20 percent ABV), and/or drinks that involve a full‐proof spirit rinse. These Low ABV cocktails are still high in Flavor.  

Shims "keep things level and keep them from getting wobbly, just like a low‐alcohol drink." 

Hat Trick: amontillado Sherry, Aperol, Fee Brothers rhubarb bitters, Prosecco

The structure of cocktail menus is also evolving – highlighting the flavor and ABV instead of the spirit base.
