Their story
Fee Brothers has been a family business in Rochester, New York, since 1864. It began as a small deli shop downtown and, over five generations, turned into one of the best-known names behind the bar.
The company is still run by the family, with Jon and Benn Spacher among the current owners. Its bitters, especially the orange bitters, have been a bartender staple for decades, and the line has kept growing with new flavors and cocktail mixers.
How it's made
Fee Brothers blends its bitters, syrups and cordials in Rochester from family recipes, many of them developed and adjusted over generations. The range runs from classic aromatic and orange bitters to newer flavors.
