Bob’s Cardamon Bitters has an aromatic, slightly spicy profile - reminiscent of white pepper - that brings both citrus brightness and warm depth to cocktails and culinary creations.
Cardamom is one of the principal botanicals used in gin; its complex flavour is both enhancing and inviting.
Green cardamom is the small, green, aromatic seed pod from the plant Elettaria cardamomum, a member of the ginger family. Among the world’s most expensive spices - sometimes called the “Queen of Spices” - it is known for floral, herbal and sweet notes that create a refreshing, uplifting flavour.
Fragrant and versatile, Bob’s Cardamon Bitters uses green cardamom pods to create a complex flavour profile that can brighten lighter spirits such as gin or vodka, complement the natural sweetness of rum or liqueur-based drinks, and add dimension to whisky and bourbon cocktails.
Adding a few drops to an Old Fashioned or an aged-rum Daiquiri will create spicy-citrus complexity, or amplify the botanical notes of a G&T.
For low- or non-alcoholic mocktails, Bob’s Cardamon Bitters can add an extra element to citrus juices, sodas or tonic waters. Alternatively, a dash can bring a spicy essence to lemon tea or enrich hot chocolate when a few drops are added to the whipped cream topping.
Bob’s Cardamon Bitters lends itself to countless culinary creations, both sweet and savoury.
Cardamom bitters enrich a Smoky Salsa or an Orange & Balsamic Dressing. Stirred into natural yoghurt it can brighten a curry and bring cosy depth and richness when incorporated into flatbreads. On the sweeter side, it can elevate an Affogato, add a hint of citrus-spice to a Mango Trifle Pot or bring a unique twist to a strawberry compote.
Pour the first three ingredients into a cocktail shaker, add ice and stir until thoroughly chilled. Strain the mixture into a rocks glass, over ice then garnish with an orange twist.

Reminiscent of Indian spice-driven cuisine, these are very well done and perfect for use in gin and rum based cocktails. The cardamom flavor is slightly sweet, making them easy to blend into a drink without overwhelming the balance.
Good Spirits News
The robust aroma of cardamon combines well with underlying hints of lemon and eucalyptus and a trace of sweetness offset by a sharp bitterness.
