Built from flavor profiles available in 1800s America, Fee Brothers crafted this rhubarb bitters to bring a bright, tannic-fruit backbone to classic and modern mixed drinks. The 150 ml bottle stores a potent liquid concentrate—vegan and gluten-free—that bartenders and home enthusiasts use sparingly to balance sweetness, lift citrus, and introduce a subtle bitter edge. Its compact size and long shelf life make it a pantry-friendly bar staple for those who experiment with cocktails or refine traditional recipes.
How does Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters change the taste of a cocktail?
Rhubarb bitters add tart, slightly astringent notes and aromatic complexity without adding substantial volume. A few dashes can cut through sweet or syrupy elements, emphasize fruit and spirit characteristics, and contribute a layered finish.
- Adds tart, fruity bitterness that balances sugar.
- Enhances fruit-forward spirits like gin, bourbon, and rum.
- Delivers aromatic top notes that elevate scent and palate perception.
- Use 1–3 dashes per drink for most recipes; adjust to taste.
Which cocktails benefit most from rhubarb bitters?
Rhubarb bitters pair well with both spirit-forward classics and contemporary mixed drinks. They’re especially effective in cocktails that already include citrus, stone fruit, or barrel-aged spirits, where the bitters sharpen flavors and add a refined finish.
- Old Fashioned — adds fruit-driven tartness to brown spirits.
- Whiskey Sour — cuts through sweet components and rounds the profile.
- Gin & tonic or gin cocktails — complements botanical notes.
- Fruit-forward cocktails and shrubs — increases complexity and balance.
How should I store and use this 5 fl oz bottle to get the longest life?
Keep the bottle capped and stored in a cool, dark place away from direct heat or sunlight to preserve aroma and flavor. Because bitters are highly concentrated, only a few drops or dashes are needed per drink, which makes a 150 ml bottle last a long time even with regular use.
- Store upright in a cool, dark pantry or bar cabinet.
- Use an eyedropper or dasher top to measure 1–3 dashes (≈0.3 mL per dash).
- Refrigeration is optional; long shelf life due to concentrated formulation.
- Label indicates vegan and gluten-free formulation for dietary needs.
