In 2010, Mote partnered in life and business with Chef Jonathan Chovancek, and Kale & Nori, the parent company to Bittered Sling®, was born. Over the next two years, Mote & Chovancek would tirelessly develop recipes and applications specifically for the bitters range to become the bridge between culinary and the cocktail. Bittered Sling® Bitters is a pipedream come to a tasty fruition, celebrating what beautiful ingredients can provide the palate, plate and potion, and represented as the first Canadian bitters line.
