Ex-pastry chef, Bob Petrie has created a suite of single-ingredient, artisan bitters for use in contemporary cocktails.

Instead of taking the traditional blended-bitters route, Bob approached the development of his products from a culinary perspective. The resultant elixirs each contain an authentic, specific flavour, allowing the user to impart an intense, individual taste to a concoction. It’s why so many of today’s best mixologists see good bitters as the glue that holds a cocktail together.

Much lauded by the high-end cocktail bar industry, Bob’s Bitters are now available to use at home.

The Original Pick-Me-Up

Bob has assisted D. R. Harris with the re-introduction of their famous ‘morning reviver’, The Original Pick-Me-Up, in a reimagined form as a cocktail bitters.
