EDMONTON, AB | In 2016, Token's founders put their heads and hearts together and created Edmonton's first local bitters company to complement the newly flourishing Alberta craft distillery community. Albertans were enjoying a growing number of locally produced spirits, and Token saw a unique opportunity to marry them with local bitters made from organic ingredients sourced from Alberta farms.
Token Bitters are hand-made and bottled without chemicals or preservatives. While sometimes they look outside the province for fruits that won't grow this far north, most of the bitters are made with plants grown fresh in Alberta.
Each Token Bitter is named after beloved Edmonton neighbourhoods and streets, an ode to the city they call home. Strathcona Orange is named after the market where they purchase fresh and dried fruit, and Whyte Lavender takes its name from the location of one of the co-founders first bartending jobs.
