{"product_id":"ay-chico-aromatics-craft-bitters","title":"Ay Chico Aromatics Craft Bitters","description":"\u003cp\u003eCraft cocktail bitters from The Bitter Gay, bottled under the Ay Chico Aromatics label. Bitters are concentrated aromatic extracts — typically a blend of botanicals, spices, and bittering agents steeped in a high-proof spirit base — used by the dash to season and build cocktails. The specific botanical composition of this expression is not disclosed on the label, but the name and branding suggest a bold, expressive flavor profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBitters occupy a small but structurally important role in the cocktail canon, functioning the way salt does in cooking: a few dashes shift the balance of a drink without being identifiable as their own flavor. Craft producers like The Bitter Gay work at a smaller scale than legacy brands, often experimenting with unusual botanicals or regional ingredients that the major labels don't touch. Ay Chico Aromatics fits within that tradition of character-driven, independent bitters making.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 22-dollar bottle of craft bitters goes a long way at a home bar — a single bottle typically yields well over a hundred cocktails. Keep it near the shaker alongside vermouth and amaro for building Manhattans, Old Fashioneds, or whatever you're improvising. It also makes a thoughtful addition to a bar gift alongside a spirit or glassware.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bitter Gay","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48624540319971,"sku":"9033598","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/8213\/6547\/files\/original_1f4c3be7-8b9f-462c-a3e7-3c5f2297082e.png?v=1775037610","url":"https:\/\/shophighst.com\/products\/ay-chico-aromatics-craft-bitters","provider":"High St.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
