The Bitters That Started the Floral Revolution
Before Scrappy's, lavender belonged in sachets, not shakers. Their lavender bitters — the first of their kind — proved that floral bitters could anchor a cocktail, not just garnish one. Made the same way since the beginning, in small Seattle batches with real Provençal lavender, they bring a bright sweetness that plays as beautifully with gin's botanicals as it does with tequila's earthiness.

Tasting Notes
Intensely floral up front — unmistakably lavender — with a bright, sweet lift rather than a soapy one. The bitterness is gentle and supportive, letting the floral character lead and the botanical base hold the finish.
How to Enjoy
Two to three dashes per cocktail. Try it in a Lavender Paloma (tequila, grapefruit, lime), a Blackberry Lavender Daiquiri (rum, lime, blackberry), a Tequila Bouquet with Aperol, or a pisco-based Symposium with coconut honey. It also lifts gin-and-tonic riffs and Aperol spritz variations.
