Honestly Aromatic Bitters – Non-Alcoholic Aromatic Bitters

Honestly Aromatic Bitters are non-alcoholic aromatic bitters designed to add classic spice, bitterness, and structure to cocktails and mocktails without alcohol. Built around warm baking spices, this bitters blend delivers the bold, aromatic profile traditionally associated with classic cocktail bitters while remaining completely zero-proof. With predominant flavours of cinnamon, allspice, and clove, this bitters blend is ideal for a variety of cocktail applications.

If you’re participating in Dry January, traditional bitters can raise questions around alcohol content. We break down how non-alcoholic bitters work and how much alcohol traditional bitters can add in our Dry January bitters guide.

How These Bitters Are Designed to Work in Cocktails

Honestly Aromatic Bitters are formulated to perform the same functional role as traditional aromatic bitters in classic drinks. Like salt in cooking, they are used in small amounts to sharpen flavour, introduce bitterness, and bring balance to the overall drink.

Rather than adding sweetness, these bitters act as a flavour accent that provides structure and aromatic lift, holding up under dilution, ice, and carbonation. 

Made with Natural Botanicals

Honestly Aromatic Bitters are crafted from a 100 percent non-alcoholic base using whole herbs, spices, and botanicals selected specifically for classic aromatic bitters profiles.

The foundation of the blend is built on cassia bark, cinnamon, allspice, and clove, which provide the warmth, bitterness, and spice traditionally associated with aromatic bitters. Supporting botanicals such as star anise, vanilla, and cardamom add depth and complexity without softening the profile or introducing sweetness.

How to Use Honestly Aromatic Bitters

Honestly Aromatic Bitters are used the same way as traditional aromatic bitters. A few dashes are enough to sharpen flavour, add balance, and bring structure to a drink.

Cocktails and mocktails

• Old Fashioned-style mocktails

• Manhattan-inspired low-ABV cocktails
  

• Whiskey or rum-style zero-proof drinks

Simple serves

• Soda or seltzer with citrus peel

• Tonic water

• Coffee, cold brew, or espresso

Because they are non-alcoholic, these bitters can be used freely in mocktails and alcohol-free drinks without compromising the zero-proof nature of the recipe.

Non-Alcoholic Alternative to Traditional Aromatic Bitters

Traditional aromatic bitters like Angostura are alcohol-based and typically contain over 40 percent ABV. While they are used in small quantities, they still introduce alcohol into cocktails and are not suitable for fully zero-proof drinks.

Honestly Aromatic Bitters are designed to fill the same role in classic recipes, providing bitterness, spice, and balance without relying on an alcohol base. This allows them to be used confidently in mocktails, alcohol-free cocktails, and low-ABV drinks where traditional bitters are not appropriate.
