Bittermilk No.4 - New Orleans Style Old Fashioned Rouge

Bittersweet. Spiced. Not your standard pour.

Bittermilk No.4 Old Fashioned Rouge leans into bold, layered flavor — built around licorice, warm spice, and a bitterness that actually does something.

Wormwood, fennel, and gentian root give it that subtle absinthe-like edge, while fresh citrus keeps it from going too dark. The deep red color comes the old-school way — cochineal, a natural dye that gives this one its “Rouge” name.

Finished in Willett Family Reserve Rye barrels, it picks up extra depth, spice, and a dry finish that works especially well with rye.

This one’s for people who like their cocktails with a little more attitude.

How to Use

Mix 1 part No.4 with 4 parts rye or bourbon, stir over ice, and finish with a lemon twist.
