Q&A
What are Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters, what do they taste like, and what do they do in a cocktail?
Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters are a concentrated bitters product designed to add rhubarb-like flavour and aroma in small dashes. Expect a tart, fruity-vegetal profile with a gentle sweetness and a lightly spiced, bitter finish typical of cocktail bitters. In drinks, they act like seasoning: they sharpen fruit notes, add complexity, and help balance sweetness. They’re especially useful for giving a subtle “spring fruit” lift without adding extra sugar or volume.
What’s the most iconic cocktail to make with rhubarb bitters?
There isn’t a single universally “iconic” classic defined by rhubarb bitters in the way Angostura is tied to an Old Fashioned. A reliable go-to is a Rhubarb Old Fashioned twist: whiskey (or gin), a touch of sugar or syrup, and 2–3 dashes of Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters, stirred and served over ice with citrus peel. The bitters add tart fruitiness and a crisp edge that keeps the drink from tasting heavy. It’s simple, familiar, and shows the ingredient clearly.
Which flavours pair best with Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters, and why do they work?
Rhubarb bitters pair beautifully with citrus (lemon, grapefruit), berries, and apple/pear flavours because their tartness echoes and brightens other fruit notes. Vanilla, honey, and light caramel sweetness work well too, rounding out the sharper edges without masking the rhubarb character. Herbal spirits and mixers—gin, dry vermouth, tonic, and soda—also complement the bitters’ fresh, slightly vegetal side. Ginger and warming spices can add depth, turning the tart profile into something more layered.
How should I use Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters at home, and how do I store them?
Start small: 1–2 dashes in a highball, sour, or spritz is usually enough, then adjust to taste. They’re great in gin and tonic, vodka soda, or a simple whiskey highball to add complexity with almost no extra calories or sweetness. Store the bottle tightly capped in a cool, dark cupboard; refrigeration isn’t necessary for most bitters. For serving, try expressing a lemon or grapefruit peel over the drink to amplify the bright, tart aroma.
What can I substitute for Fee Brothers Rhubarb Bitters if I don’t have them?
If you’re missing rhubarb bitters, use another fruit-forward bitters (grapefruit, orange, or cherry) to get a similar bright lift, though the flavour will be different. A small amount of rhubarb syrup can mimic the fruit character, but it adds sweetness and volume, so reduce other sweeteners accordingly. In a pinch, a dash of aromatic bitters plus a tiny splash of lemon juice can approximate the balancing effect. Choose based on whether you need more fruit aroma, bitterness, or tartness.
Are rhubarb bitters alcoholic, and do they affect the strength of a cocktail?
Many cocktail bitters are alcohol-based, and Fee Brothers bitters are typically used in very small amounts (dashes), so they contribute minimal alcohol to a full drink. In practice, they won’t noticeably change the strength of a cocktail the way a spirit or liqueur would. Their main impact is flavour: aroma, bitterness, and a tart-fruity accent. If you’re avoiding alcohol entirely, look for explicitly non-alcoholic bitters alternatives and use them similarly as a seasoning.
