Bittermilk is a line of cocktail mixers made by bartenders for cocktail enthusiasts. Crafted with real ingredients and bottled by our own human hands in Charleston, SC.

With deep roots in the restaurant and bar industry, husband and wife team Joe and MariElena Raya sought out to simplify the process of making craft cocktails at home. Made with whole, all-natural and unique ingredients, each of the products use a bittering agent, a sweetener and an acid to achieve a balanced cocktail.

Bittermilk highlights the ingredients that bring bitterness to the cocktail, an important part of a balanced cocktail, hence the name Bittermilk. Inspired by what goes into making a classic cocktail, we add complimenting botanicals and aromatics to brighten flavor and then use creative techniques to maximize flavors, such as burning, smoking, barrel aging, charring and macerating.

Bittermilk allows the customer to mix up unique, quality cocktails following a simple ratio recipe of Bittermilk to spirit. The labor is in the bottle, just add booze. Joe and MariElena Raya also created and produce Barcoop Bevy cocktail mixers and Tippleman’s cocktail syrups in Charleston, SC.
