Difford’s Guide is widely considered the authority on global cocktail culture. Mr Simon Difford of the aforementioned guide suggested a bittersweet orange bitters would be an interesting addition to the range.

Reviews for Bob’s Orange & Mandarin Bitters


Aromas of freshly scratched mandarin zest with the bittersweet flavour of caramelised Seville oranges and a trace of warming spice. A bitter zest finish that lingers.

Simon Difford

Bob’s Orange & Mandarin Bitters is a good place to start; it’s particularly tasty and makes an interesting change from a standard orange bitters.
