Frequently Asked Questions

What are bitters?

Bitters are an infusion of high-proof alcohol plus herbs, roots, barks, fruit, spices, and flowers. At least one of the botanicals must taste bitter. They're often added to beverages in drops and dashes to bring balance, complexity, or flavor.

Explore the Bitters Guide

How much bitters do I use?

Start with 10 drops (about a dash) of FreeWildShe Bitters. Taste your drink, then add more if you'd like a stronger flavor. There isn't a right or wrong amount. Use a little for subtle flavor or a few extra dashes for a bold botanical profile.

When following a recipe, use the amount listed as a starting point and adjust from there.

Do bitters have alcohol?

Yes. Most bitters contain alcohol unless they explicitly state otherwise. FreeWildShe Bitters contain alcohol because it's used to extract and preserve the botanicals. Bitters are typically added in just a few dashes at a time, so the alcohol content in the final drink is very low. However, the drink is not completely alcohol-free.
