Bennett Bitters - Scorpion Bitters 4oz

Bennett Bitters was founded in 2020 by New York herbalist Yana and Seattle-born mixologist Joseph, who built the brand around years of experience developing beverage menus in New York's cocktail scene. Every release is hand-blended in small batches under herbalist oversight, with an emphasis on organic and sustainable sourcing across the line.

Scorpion Bitters draws its name and its edge from Trinidad Moruga Scorpion chili and dried Manchurian scorpion, steeped in organic cane alcohol alongside turbinado sugar and a supporting cast of organic herbs. The original version is bottled with an actual dried scorpion inside, while a vegan variant offers the same heat without it. Like the rest of the collection, it is hand-filled and finished without mechanical processing, inspired by the harsh, dramatic landscape of the American Southwest.

The heat builds in waves rather than arriving all at once, with the chili's sharp front-end spice giving way to a savory, umami depth from the scorpion. Turbinado sugar rounds the edges and a light herbal lift keeps the finish from turning flat, so the bitters season and intensify a drink rather than burying it under raw heat.
