Festive Botanical Mixology: DIY Digestive Bitters

Bitters may be trending now, but they have deep roots. Traditionally, wild bitter greens were the first fresh foods of spring, helping to tone the body and gently wake up the liver after a long season of preserved foods. Today, bitters continue to support digestion and overall wellness, especially during the rich and festive holiday season.

Not only do bitters support healthy digestion, but also healthy liver and gallbladder function, a strong immune system, lower inflammation, help brain function, and more!

And guess what? Citrus peels, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, and reishi are all bitters—which means the flavor possibilities are endless!
