Fee Brothers Mint Bitters bring a cool, aromatic lift to cocktails without the heaviness of a full mint syrup or muddled leaves.

Because bitters are used in small amounts, they’re ideal for fine-tuning a recipe: adding a refreshing top note, a subtle sweetness, or a brisk finish that lingers just long enough to invite another sip.

Q&A
What are Fee Brothers Mint Bitters, what do they taste like, and what do they do in a cocktail?
Fee Brothers Mint Bitters are a concentrated bitters product designed to add mint character with aromatic complexity. The flavour reads as cool, sweet-leaning mint with a herbal, slightly spiced bitters backbone rather than the sharp bite of fresh mint. In cocktails, a few dashes can lift the aroma, brighten chocolate or whiskey notes, and add a clean “finish” without adding much volume. They’re especially useful when you want mint nuance without muddling leaves.
What’s the most iconic cocktail to make with mint bitters like Fee Brothers Mint Bitters?
A classic use for mint bitters is in an Old Fashioned-style build, where a couple of dashes add a cool mint accent to a spirit-forward drink. Think whiskey (bourbon or rye), a touch of sugar or syrup, and bitters, stirred down and served over ice with an orange twist. The mint bitters don’t turn it into a Mojito; instead they add a subtle, refreshing top note. It’s a simple way to make a familiar template feel new.
Which flavours pair best with Fee Brothers Mint Bitters, and why do they work?
Mint bitters pair brilliantly with chocolate, coffee, and vanilla because mint’s cooling aroma contrasts rich, roasted flavours and makes them taste brighter. They also work well with whiskey, aged rum, and brandy, where mint can highlight oak, caramel, and spice notes without adding sweetness. Citrus (especially orange) is a natural partner, adding lift and keeping the mint from feeling too confectionary. For a fresher profile, try pairing with cucumber or light herbal liqueurs.
Any practical tips for using Fee Brothers Mint Bitters at home (and how should I store them)?
Start small: 1–2 dashes is usually enough, then adjust, because mint can dominate if overused. Use mint bitters to rinse a chilled glass, to season a stirred drink, or to add a quick aromatic finish on top of a sour or highball. Store the bottle tightly capped in a cool, dark cupboard; refrigeration isn’t necessary for most bitters, but heat and sunlight will dull the aromatics. For serving, express an orange peel over the drink to complement the mint.
What can I use instead of Fee Brothers Mint Bitters if I don’t have them?
If you’re out of mint bitters, a small amount of peppermint extract can work in a pinch, but use a toothpick-dip or a single drop at most because it’s extremely potent. Crème de menthe can substitute for mint flavour too, though it adds sweetness and alcohol, so reduce any syrup accordingly. Fresh mint (muddled or slapped) is another option, but it changes the texture and can add vegetal notes. As a general bitters substitute, aromatic bitters plus a tiny mint element can approximate the effect.
How do mint bitters differ from using fresh mint in cocktails?
Mint bitters deliver aroma and flavour without the plant material, so you avoid bits of leaf, muddling, and the risk of over-extracting bitter, grassy notes. Fresh mint gives a brighter, greener profile and a more obvious “garden” character, especially in shaken drinks like a Mojito-style build. Mint bitters are better for spirit-forward cocktails where clarity and control matter, and they’re consistent from drink to drink. Many home bartenders keep both: fresh mint for freshness, bitters for precision.
