The Bitter Old Coot, a straightforward cocktail compared to Justus Drugstore’s usual complex creations, began as an after-hours drink for staff. Its popularity among employees led it to become part of the official menu. Bartenders at Justus prefer their homemade bitters, but The Bitter Truth and Fee Brothers brands work well too.
