South Seas Bitters\u003c\/strong\u003e are a limited-release, tiki-style cocktail bitters from McMann \u0026amp; Tate Cocktail Co. of West Orange, New Jersey — a small-batch maker of all-natural bitters, garnishes and rim salts founded in 2020. Built for tropical drinks, the blend is dominated by clove and cardamom, layered with allspice, cinnamon and a full cast of botanicals — the brand's own ingredient list runs to alcohol, allspice, cinchona, cinnamon, cloves, lime and orange peel, cacao and cardamom. Bottled at 40% ABV (80 proof) in a 2oz dropper bottle, a few dashes bring warm island spice to rum, citrus and tropical fruit without overwhelming them. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 proof (40% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2oz (59mL) dropper bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKey botanicals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clove and cardamom, with allspice, cinnamon, cinchona, cacao, lime and orange peel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tiki-style cocktail bitters, small batch, all natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e McMann \u0026amp; Tate Cocktail Co., West Orange, New Jersey, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTiki Spice, Bottled in New Jersey\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMcMann \u0026amp; Tate crafts its bitters in small batches with premium, all-natural ingredients — no artificial colors or flavors, so what you see in the bottle comes straight from the infusion.
