Bittermens Citron Sauvage Liqueur
Small batch bitters are making their mark on the cocktail scene. In cities like New York, Boston and San Francisco, cocktail enthusiasts and bartenders are rediscovering long lost recipes and coming up with new signature flavors which help create the palate of the New American Cocktail.
While living in San Francisco in early 2007, Avery and Janet Glasser used high proof spirit and a variety of herbs, peels and spices to create an extract of a traditional Mexican cooking sauce. This extract became the prototype recipe for the Xocolatl Mole Bitters.
The summer of 2010 marked a dramatic rebirth for Bittermens: winding down previous licensing agreements, striking new partnerships, developing new products and most importantly, leasing a commercial kitchen. All Bittermens products are now being made by hand at our New Orleans facility using primarily organic ingredients.
Bittermens also consults with bars and restaurants looking to develop signature in-house formulations.
An updated bitter grapefruit aperitif in the Milanese style? A triple sec that’s grapefruit instead of orange? What is this Citron Sauvage?
Citron Sauvage is a grapefruit liqueur which we find eminently useful with a capital “U”. Substitute it for Triple Sec in a Margarita for a beautiful pink hued cocktail. Add a dash to a Hemingway to accentuate the bitter grapefruit flavors. Just add a splash of soda for a refreshing spritz or start opening up new variations on a Negroni. We think it’s a little taste of summer in a glass

The Citron Sauvage is naturally cloudy and may separate during storage. This is normal and does not impact the flavor or shelf stability!
