Bob´s Bitter Coriander Aromatisk Cocktail Bobs Bitters 10 cl 35%

A Michelin chef switched lanes and began thinking about bitters the way he once thought about desserts, one ingredient at a time, instead of a big herbal blend. Coriander became one of his most distinctive single notes.

Expert's description

Bob's Bitter Coriander is an aromatic cocktail bitter at 35% ABV, bottled at 10 cl.

Behind the brand stands Bob Petrie, who as Head Pastry Chef at a Michelin-starred restaurant was approached by Guiliano Morandin of the newly refurbished Dorchester Bar in London, who wanted a range of bitters for the bar's new concept, "The Gin Experience". Petrie approached the task from a culinary angle rather than the traditional method of blending many herbs together, instead making bitters built on single, clear botanical ingredients, coriander among them. The approach gave bartenders far greater control over the flavour of each drink, and Bob's Bitters is now used in some of the world's best bars. The bottle has a dropper cap, making it easy to dose 4 to 8 drops at a time.
