Cuna De Piedra Bitters - Apothecary Cacao

Inspired by the tradition of drinking "Curados," a practice of infusing botanical remedies in aguardiente (a type of distilled spirit) offered by village elders, we have created a blend that highlights some of the flavor notes reminiscent of this heritage.

From this blend, we emphasize the bitter nature of three ingredients: Cacao husks from agroforestry systems in Soconusco (Chiapas), Cachichín, a wild nut from Veracruz that is sun-dried and hand-peeled, and Ramón seeds harvested by the RUEZ Women's Cooperative in Chetumal. We balance these bitters with the floral fragrance of Rosita de Cacao, a small flower from a tree species that grows alongside cacao. We obtain these flowers from Doña Dionisia García in La Chinantla (northeast Oaxaca), an ambassador of Chinantec cuisine and a cacao farmer.

We recommend these bitters to add a unique flavor profile to any cocktail or low-alcohol beverage. Add extra depth to your Espresso Martini, Manhattan, and Old Fashioned. Transform your Bourbon, Rye Whiskey, or Rum with just a few drops.
