Delivering a crisp, powerful dash of flavour, Bob’s Ginger Bitters finishes with a subtle umami note.

Zingiber officinale - commonly known as ginger - is widely used medicinally and its long history of reputed health benefits is well documented. Originating in Southeast Asia, ginger has been cultivated for thousands of years to impart a deep, spicy yet comforting flavour to drinks and dishes.

Offering controlled heat and gentle bitterness without overpowering, Bob’s Ginger Bitters brings out both the intense, lemony character of fresh ginger and the subtler, deeper notes of dried ginger. During drying, gingerol (responsible for fresh ginger’s peppery heat and zesty bite) converts to zingerone, a compound that is more aromatic, rounded and sweeter.

Its clean, crisp, slightly citrus shimmer cuts through rich or sugary cocktails, adding brightness to lift heavy spirits such as rum, whisky or aged tequila with just a few drops.

Bob’s Ginger Bitters transforms a spirit‑free drink into a crafted, grown‑up sip without added sweetness, and elevates simple mixers into refreshing, aromatic serves.

Ginger is essential across numerous cuisines, and the culinary applications for ginger bitters are endless.

Flavour Profile

  • Appearance: Shiny, tawny-gold liquid
  • Aroma: Intense ginger root with an aromatic, zesty scent underpinned by peppery notes
  • Taste: Bold and fiery fresh ginger with a bright, lemon-like high note followed by a caramelised ginger heat
  • Finish: Enduring and lively citrus freshness with undertones of an earthy and dry bitter-warmth

From a culinary perspective…

From a savoury perspective, a dash or two in marinades for tofu, fish or meat allows the flavour to penetrate and deepen. Incorporating Bob’s Ginger Bitters into sauces, dressings and dips adds complexity, while desserts, syrups, bakes and biscuits benefit from a warm, zingy ginger note that makes them moreish.

Reviews for Bob’s Ginger Bitters


A few drops of Bob’s Ginger Bitters go a long way. Use to add ginger complexity to a wide range of cocktails and even simple Highballs such as Scotch & Ginger.

Simon Difford, Difford’s Guide

A decent amount of heat in these bitters balanced by a sweetness. Even if you weren’t to use these in a cocktail, they would be a great digestion aid in tea. Really tasty too.
