Specifically formulated for summer, Bob’s Summer Bitters is designed for thirst-quenching, warm-weather drinks or highlighting fresh, fruity notes in culinary recipes. It is defined by the abundance of summer fruit with bursts of berry, cherry, peach and passionfruit that capture the season at its peak while botanical accents weave through in the form of lemon balm, elderflower and the quintessential summer scent of lavender.

Bob’s Summer Bitters are a natural fit for cocktail classics, bringing a fruited depth to gin, rosé vermouth and vodka. A few drops into a Pimm’s or Summer Cup accentuate the fruitiness; a dash in a summer martini lends a richer, rounder finish; Champagne lifts and blooms; and a Strawberry Daiquiri Slush takes on a rich seasonal brightness.

For those who prefer to drink without alcohol, a couple of dashes enhance mocktails, e.g. a Cranberry Fizz or a Summer Monsoon, from the ordinary into something worth savouring. Equally, a splash in lemonade or sparkling water makes for an effortless summer refreshment.

Bob’s Summer Bitters are just as welcome in the kitchen as they are behind the bar. A dash over a berry sundae intensifies the fruit and adds a bittersweet edge, while a few drops stirred through a trifle brings a welcome lift to a much-loved classic.
