Reviews for Bob’s Vanilla Bitters


The best vanilla aromatic bitters we’ve come across.

Simon Difford, Difford’s Guide

Much less sweet than the vanilla extracts you can find on your grocer’s shelves. Nonetheless a pleasant and natural vanilla flavor pervades and adds plenty of dessert-like flavor to cocktails.  Great with bourbons, rums and vodkas.
