Bob’s Lavender Bitters
Bob’s Lavender Bitters are, as expected, floral, aromatic, and slightly herbal: perfect for adding an extra layer of complexity to cocktails and food recipes.
Bob’s Lavender Bitters impart fragrance whilst adding sophistication to cocktails and mocktails as well as many culinary treats.
The scientific name for English Lavender is Lavandula Angustifolia, and it is a genus of the mint family. It is an instantly recognisable herb known for its beautiful purple flowers, calming scent and versatile uses.
The prominent and unique flavour of lavender together with the rosemary wood and citrus notes of Bob’s Lavender Bitters bring a floral freshness to Champagne, gin-based cocktails would gain an aromatic edge and summer variations can be created in a Lavender Bees Knees or a (Moscow) Garden Mule.
Lavender bitters inspire mocktails with subtle aromatic depth being added to a Homemade Lavender Lemonade, an iced tea or a Rhubarb Lavender Spritz.
Culinary recipes can receive a unique flavour boost with a few drops or dashes added to poached stone fruit, such as apricot, peach or plum, to elevate a humble ice cream.
Flavour Profile
- Appearance: Bronze-amber liquid

From a culinary perspective…
Bob’s Lavender Bitters heightens buttercream, is delicious baked into shortbread and adds an enticing touch to salad dressings. A “drizzle cake” is enriched with floral notes while the essence of summer is intensified by its addition to Strawberry Hibiscus Syrup. In a similar way, floral flair is a welcome enhancement to a Lemon Syllabub.

Many of Bob’s Bitters are high concentrations of botanicals used to flavour gin… His lavender bitters brought a stylish, elegant tinge to a gin and tonic.

(Nik) Hannigan suggests Bob’s Lavender Bitters because they “really accentuate the floral elements” of botanical spirits, according to him. “You could almost wear this stuff as a perfume but trust me: It goes great in a gin and tonic.”
