Bob’s Liquorice Bitters

Earthy, aromatic and subtly sweet, Bob’s Liquorice Bitters brings balance, depth and length to cocktails, herbal preparations and culinary creations.

With its smooth, woody sweetness, Bob's Liquorice Bitters offers a refined alternative to the familiar sweet salty liquorice found in confectionery.

Liquorice, a flowering plant from the Fabaceae family, has long been treasured for its sweet, aromatic root. One of the world’s oldest herbal medicines, liquorice extract has been used for centuries in traditional remedies and herbalism.

Within the root lie its characteristic flavour compounds: anethole and glycyrrhizin. Anethole also appears in herbs such as coriander and basil, while glycyrrhizin – more than 30 times sweeter than sugar – is used as a natural sweetener in confectionery and beverages.

Bob’s Liquorice Bitters full bodied character complements the natural sweetness of bourbon and the rich molasses notes of dark rum. Whisky sours, raspberry gin cocktails and even a Baby Guinness Shot are elevated with just a few drops. It deepens the herbal bitterness of a Boulevardier or Negroni and introduces a warm, woody sweetness to rye whisky in an Old Fashioned.

For lighter serves, a dash of liquorice bitters adds earthy depth to homemade or carbonated lemonade and pairs beautifully with the citrus oils, vanilla and cinnamon found in cola.

Bob’s Liquorice Bitters introduces subtle complexity to both savoury and sweet dishes, creating a distinctive twist that feels effortlessly indulgent.
