Bob’s Lavender Bitters
Bob’s Lavender Bitters is, as expected, floral, aromatic, and gently herbal - ideal for adding an extra layer of complexity to cocktails and culinary creations.
Imparting fragrance and flavour, Bob’s Lavender Bitters bring sophistication to cocktails and mocktails as well as many culinary treats.
Known scientifically as Lavandula angustifolia, English lavender belongs to the mint family. It is an instantly recognisable herb, celebrated for its beautiful purple flowers, calming scent and versatile uses.
The distinctive flavour of lavender, combined with the rosemary wood and citrus notes of Bob’s Lavender Bitters introduces a fresh floral lift to Champagne. Gin based cocktails acquire a more aromatic, polished edge while summer classics find new expression in a Lavender Bee’s Knees or a (Moscow) Garden Mule.
For alcohol free serves, lavender bitters introduce subtle aromatic depth to Homemade Lavender Lemonade, iced tea or a Rhubarb Lavender Spritz.
A few drops of lavender bitters can transform everyday recipes. Poached stone fruits – apricot, peach or plum – become lightly perfumed, especially when paired with a scoop of ice cream for a quietly indulgent finish.
Flavour Profile

From a culinary perspective…
Bob’s Lavender Bitters enriches buttercream, bakes beautifully into shortbread and adds a refined touch to salad dressings. Drizzle cakes become infused with gentle floral notes while the essence of summer is intensified by its addition to Strawberry Hibiscus Syrup. Similarly, a Lemon Syllabub gains a delicate floral charm.
