Sometimes magic happens by accident. While Bittermens was first working on the recipe for the Amère Nouvelle, they had a bit of a slip up on one of their early prototypes. Basically, due to a mistake with a decimal point, they added ten times too much cinnamon.
The interesting thing is that it worked. It wasn't a bitter orange and gentian liqueur anymore like the Amère Nouvelle was designed to be, but it was pretty good nonetheless. They thought that it would work well in winter cocktails or as a mixer in mulled wine and so the name 'Hiver Amer' emerged – the Winter Bitter.
However, it was only when the Tiki bartenders started to play with the Hiver Amer that Bittermens saw the real power of their great mistake. It had many of the qualities of a cinnamon bark syrup but more bitter complexity and less sugar... and combined with Bittermens' Citron Sauvage, it made a particularly interesting Don's Mix style liqueur.
Bittermens' Hiver Amer comes in a 375ml cork-topped bottle with an alcohol content of 30% ABV.
