For the food and/or beverage geek, Workhorse Rye’s bitters are glorious. Whether it be Passionflower, Salted Cacao, Aromatic Coffee Bitters, or one of the ever-changing seasonal varieties, each Workhorse Rye bitters is crafted with unrivaled skill. Each recipe creates an immersive experience whose transcendental effects are hard to shake off.

For example, the Passionflower Bitters—made with soothing botanicals passionflower, hops, echinacea, chamomile, violet leaf, blackberry leaf, and valerian root—lulls the imbiber into a dreamlike state, where they are transported to a warm and friendly Eastern European apothecary from the mid-1800s. Luckily, you won’t want to wake up from this dream.
