East End Bitters Debut!

East End Bitters Debut!

East End Bitters will be available @ Congress & Maynards Market

Hotel Congress & Maynards Market proudly present our very own house-made bitters: East End Bitters.

Created by mixologist Aaron DeFeo, East End Bitters combines notes of lavender, grapefruit, & ginger with earthy tones and a bitter, floral backbone provided by cascade hops.

The bitters is ideal for gin, tequila, and whiskey-based cocktails.

The new Cup Cafe drink list, soft-debuting on Monday, August 2nd, features East End Bitters in two cocktails: The Pete Martinez and Dead Western Plains.

Dead Western Plains, named after the popular local band of the same name, invokes dusty, desert vegetal flavors while in balance with just the right amount of sweetness provided by Chartreuse and agave nectar. The East End Bitters helps to bring out and compliment the Chartreuse’s floral and spicy characteristics.

The Pete Martinez is a classically-inspired drink unlike any other. Featuring High West Silver whiskey from Park City, Utah, the Pete Martinez cocktail utilizes the malty character of the oat-based whiskey balanced with sweet blanc vermouth. It is truly the gem of the new signature cocktail menu.

East End Bitters will be available at Hotel Congress begining August 2nd, and at Maynards beginning August 10th.
