#9 – 3 Chiles

Dr. Sours #9 3 Chiles is our own hot’n smoky Mexican chili mix. Putting chili on everything is a Mexican custom and there is a great variety of Mexican chilies from super dangerous hot, mild and savory to sweet and smoky. These last two flavours bring the main characteristics to our bitter, it will heat up your cocktail with a moderate spiciness that almost immediately turns into a smoky sweetness. Although chilies may be good source of fiber and a great antioxidant, use our bitter moderately: Drop it like it’s hot!

Serving suggestion: Our #9 may be added as a secret ingredient to a burning Bloody Mary or a Mexican Negroni. It can also be used preparing Mexican salsas, guacamole or a chili con/sin carne.

#14 – Dia De Muertos

#14 Día de Muertos is inspired by the Mexican tradition of celebrating the dead by decorating their graves and making altars with colorful Aztec Marigold flowers, known as Cempasúchil, which is native from Mexico and means “flower of twenty flowers”. The vibrant scent and bright yellow color of this flower guides the deceased back to their loved ones to enjoy one more day of earthly pleasures. The aroma is sweet, floral and ends with a refreshing menthol hint, while the taste will remind you of an autumn caramelized pumpkin with warm spices and a bitter soul. Used for centuries to cure stomach and respiratory problems. Revives young spirits such as a Corpse Reviver or our own version of this cocktail, the Levanta Muertos. Simply a flavour to die for.
