Bob’s Vanilla Bitters

Bob’s Vanilla Bitters was created to introduce an inimitable blend of smoky warmth and vanilla spiced elegance to cocktails. Highly versatile, these bitters offer infinite possibilities for both drinks and culinary creations.

Imparting a warm, aromatic and subtly sweet depth - rather than an overt vanilla flavour - vanilla bitters has become one of Bob’s most popular products.

Vanilla is a fragrant, flavourful spice derived from the pods of the Vanilla orchid, most commonly Vanilla planifolia, a member of the Orchidaceae family. One of the world’s most prized flavourings, vanilla is believed to have been first used by the Aztecs of Mexico to enrich cocoa.

Today, it remains one of the most valuable spices globally due to the labour intensive process required to cultivate its pods. Its popularity, however, is undiminished. Vanilla is cherished across beverages, desserts, baking and even perfumery.

Perfectly suited to whisky and rum, Bob’s Vanilla Bitters adds a subtle sweetness that beautifully balances sours. It lends itself to coffee based liqueurs, injects depth in tropical cocktails and brings a comforting embrace to winter serves.

Alcohol free creations also benefit from its luxurious depth. A Berry Spritz or a vanilla inspired, alcohol free Old Fashioned becomes more rounded and decadent with just a few drops.

Vanilla’s affinity with sweets is timeless, and Bob’s Vanilla Bitters enhances this partnership with ease. A dash in meringue or folded into the filling of a rhubarb tart adds irresistible depth and aromatic intrigue.
