Bitters Pourer, Dash Top in Polycarbonate and Rubber, Silver or Eco Wood

For bars with bitters up front, shop-bought or homemade. Bitters go into a drink in very small amounts, and with a standard pourer the smallest pour is already too much: hence a different spout, built for a different job.

It is a movement of its own. With the bitters pourer the bottle is flipped with a sharp flick of the wrist and turned upright again: a small, repeatable amount comes out, which is what you need when an ingredient carries weight in the drink at just a few millilitres. With a spirit pourer the liquid runs in a steady stream, and stopping it at the right point depends on the reflexes of whoever is pouring, which is not repeatable at all.

• Body: polycarbonate
• Base: rubber, for the seal in the neck
• Dimensions: 3 x 7 x 3cm, shorter than a spirit pourer
• Colours: silver, eco wood
• Pack quantity: single piece
• Dishwasher safe: no

Seven centimetres instead of eleven

The shorter length is not a matter of looks: a bitters bottle is flipped over, and a long spout increases the amount that comes out with each movement and makes the flick harder to control. Short means a smaller, more precise dash, and that is why this format exists as a category of its own rather than a variant.

How much a dash weighs in the recipe

Far more than its volume suggests. Bitters are a concentrate of bitter and spiced extracts, so two or three dashes change the profile of a whole drink at a few millilitres: no other ingredient behind the bar has a higher ratio of effect to quantity. That is why a dedicated bitters pourer is worth having rather than making do with the original bottle’s dropper, which varies from one producer to the next and does not give the same movement every time.

Also for homemade bitters

A bitters pourer fits any bottle with a standard neck, including those you decant tinctures and homemade solutions into. It complements 100ml dropper bottles: those are for measuring in prep, this is for service, when speed matters more than precision to the drop.

Care

Pull it out, soak in hot water, rinse and dry. Bitters are often dense and sugary, so residue dries quickly inside the narrow spout; a clear spout gives the dash you expect every time. Keep it out of the dishwasher so the rubber stays soft.

FAQ

Why a different pourer for bitters? Because you need a dash, not a steady pour: the short spout gives it.

Which colours are available? Two: silver and eco wood.

Does it fit homemade bottles? Yes, any standard neck.

How many dashes go in a drink? Usually two or three, depending on the bitters: what counts is that the movement is always the same, and a dedicated spout gives you that.
