Fee Brothers Mole Cocktail Bitters 5 fl oz (150ml) — cacao, coffee & clove spice, vegan gluten-free

Fee Brothers Mole Cocktail Bitters are a 150ml bitters crafted from cacao fruit juice and warming spices to add chocolatey, coffee, and clove notes with a subtle heat to cocktails.

Built for bartenders and home mixologists, these mole bitters concentrate deep, layered flavors into just a few dashes. They enrich classics like the Old Fashioned and Whiskey Sour or provide a bold counterpoint in modern, spirit-forward drinks. Produced by Fee Brothers, a family-owned brand with roots dating to 1864, this bottle is vegan and gluten-free and designed to stretch across many cocktails.

How will Fee Brothers Mole Bitters change my cocktails?

Mole bitters work as a flavor amplifier, introducing cocoa fruit brightness and warm spice that balances sweet, bitter, and boozy elements. Use them sparingly to lift aromatics without overwhelming the base spirit.

• Adds cocoa, coffee, and clove accents for richer aroma and taste
• Provides gentle warming heat to round out sweeteners and bitters alike
• Transforms simple drinks into more layered, restaurant-style cocktails

How much should I use and where do they perform best?

Start with 1–3 dashes (≈0.3 mL each dash) per drink and adjust to taste. These bitters are especially effective in whiskey, dark rum, tequila, and mezcal cocktails or in small amounts with stirred drinks.

• 1–3 dashes for classic cocktails like Old Fashioned and Manhattan
• 2–4 dashes to introduce mole character in tiki or mezcal creations
• Use a single dash to subtly elevate spirit-forward sips without masking them

What flavors should I expect and what pairs well?

The profile centers on cacao fruit juice, bringing cocoa-like sweetness, light coffee notes, clove spice, and a mild warming finish. These bitters pair well with citrus oils, caramelized sugar, and barrel-aged spirits.

• Cocoa and coffee tones that complement bourbon and aged rum
• Clove and baking-spice hints that pair with orange peel and vermouth
• Works with both stirred and shaken formats to add savory complexity

Who is this for? Home bartenders and professional mixologists who want to add a distinctive chocolate-spice layer to cocktails without using heavy syrups or liqueurs will appreciate Fee Brothers Mole Cocktail Bitters. It’s ideal for anyone crafting spirit-forward drinks, experimenting with modern flavor combinations, or looking to add depth to stout or dessert-style cocktails. The vegan and gluten-free formulation also makes it suitable for guests with dietary preferences.
