What are cocktail bitters?
Cocktail bitters are concentrated flavour extracts used to enhance the taste and complexity of cocktails. You can think of them like seasonings, but instead of for food they are for alcoholic drinks; if other bitters brands are your salts and peppers, Caliente Bitters is your chilli flakes.
Why should I use Caliente Bitters?
As the only chilli bitters brand on the market, we provide the easiest and most consistent way to make cocktails spicy. What's more, our secret five-chilli blend is expertly crafted to ignite every corner of your palate, with each chilli delivering a distinct kick that leaves you in fiery ecstasy. And at a price point of just 7p per cocktail, you get luxury-level flavour without the price tag.
Which cocktails pair well with Caliente Bitters?
Any which you think would be nice to have some spice in! Our favourites are Margaritas, Palomas, Bloody Marys, Daiquiris, Martinis and Caipirinhas.
Is Caliente Bitters all-natural?
Yes! We only use natural ingredients - no artificial flavours, colours, or preservatives.
Does Caliente Bitters contain alcohol?
Like most traditional bitters, ours contain alcohol as a base (at 30% ABV), but since only 0.5ml is typically used per drink, they add just 0.15% ABV to a 100ml cocktail.
Can I cook with Caliente Bitters?
Absolutely! They’re great in marinades, sauces, soups, and even desserts that could use a spicy edge.
How should I store Caliente Bitters?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. No refrigeration required.
How long does Caliente Bitters last?
Our bitters have a shelf life of several years when stored properly. You’ll likely finish the bottle long before they go bad!
