Vanilla Mourning Bitters Flavor Extract

Vanilla Mourning Bitters Flavor Extract

Vanilla Mourning

Bitters Flavor Extract

Vanilla Mourning is not sweetness — it is depth, shadow, and restraint.
A bitters flavor extract designed to bring darkness and dimension to cocktails that crave more than comfort.

This extract opens with an intense, enveloping vanilla presence, rich and aromatic, before other flavors quietly begin to creep in. Inspired by classic bourbon- and whiskey-forward profiles, layers of vanilla beans and cherries unfold slowly, warmed by cardamom pods, tonka beans, and star anise.

As the sweetness softens, gentian root and cassia chips emerge, grounding the profile with bitterness and spice, while wild cherry bark lingers in the finish — deep, woody, and hauntingly smooth.

Vanilla leads, but it never stays innocent. Each dash reveals another layer — warmth, bitterness, spice, and shadow — until the glass feels finished, as if your Old Fashioned has been quietly calling this extract home.

Vanilla Mourning is crafted to elevate Old Fashioned–style cocktails, Manhattans, bourbon or whiskey drinks, and zero-proof creations, adding emotion, structure, and unmistakable presence.

Finished in our signature apothecary bottle, Vanilla Mourning is moody, sultry, and unapologetically refined — a bitters flavor extract for late nights, low light, and drinks that linger long after the last sip.

Alcohol not included.
