We’ve done extensive nocturnal research on our Love-Struck Bitters, and can absolutely conclude that yes, they work! Those naughty Romans who, long, long ago, discovered that a combination of hyssop, thyme, peppercorn and ginger were an effective aphrodisiac, no doubt, had conducted similar experiments. Here are just a few of the things that have happened since The Hudson Standard Love-Struck Bitters were introduced this past year to a peckish and itchy market: ♥ Dramatic drop in couch sleeping ♥ Dramatic rise in room service ♥ Massive downloads of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with a young Paul Newman ♥ Bitters-to-Bed replaces Farm-to-Table ♥ Dogs and cats don’t fight anymore ♥ Global warming (sorry.)
