Bring the distinctive flavour of Japanese shiso to your cocktails with these aromatic bitters from The Japanese Bitters Company.
 
Created by Japanese bartender Yuki Yamazaki and made in Japan using blue shiso from Chiba Prefecture, these bitters capture the herb's fresh, grassy character, with notes reminiscent of spearmint, basil and fresh green herbs. A few dashes add a refreshing herbal dimension to cocktails and work particularly well with gin, whisky and vodka.
 
Shiso is a member of the mint family and is widely used in Japanese cuisine. These bitters offer an easy way to introduce its distinctive flavour to drinks without the need for fresh shiso leaves.

ABV: 28%
 
How to use
 
Add 1–2 drops to your cocktail and stir to incorporate. For a more pronounced aroma, try adding a final drop or two over the finished drink.
 
These bitters work particularly well in spirit-forward cocktails, as well as long drinks with soda or tonic. Experiment with different spirits, citrus and sweeteners to find your ideal balance.
 
Why not build your collection with The Japanese Bitters - Yuzu for a bright and citrusy addition to cocktails and long drinks.
