Bitters Use and Care
Bennett Bitters are made with 47.5% abv organic cane alcohol. Despite the fact that they contain alcohol they can still be used to make "non-alcoholic" cocktails.
For a drink to be considered non-alcoholic it should come in under 0.5% alcohol per volume. Since one dropper measures a little under 1 ml, you can safely add 1 dropper per 100 ml of liquid in the drink (or about 3.3 oz).
For a 12 oz soda, for example, you can use up to 3-4 droppers and the drink will be under 0.5% abv.
That 0.5% trace amount of alcohol is generally considered safe to consume by all and is an amount of alcohol that is found in a lot of common foods that we consume every day. Orange juice can be as high as .73% abv, grape juice can be as high as .86% abv, and apple juice can be as high as .66% abv.
All the ingredients (including the alcohol) used to make Bennett Bitters are either organic or wild harvested. We source our ingredients from trusted herb suppliers and, whenever possible, seek ingredients which are grown on land that they are native to.
Because Bennett Bitters are made with high proof alcohol they follow the same rules as a bottle of spirit. Their shelf life is indefinite and doesn't have any expiration date.
Bitters don't need to be refrigerated but they should be stored in a dark and temperature controlled space.
Every element of the empty bottle and dropper assembly can be recycled.
Check with local regulations to find out the best ways to recycle plastic, rubber, and glass in your area.
