Some classic cocktails, including the sweet & salty margarita, lack the extra complexity that bitters might add. Enter Bob Petrie, ex-pastry chef, who has created artisan bitters from a culinary perspective. Bob's Bitters each contain an authentic, specific flavor, allowing the user to impart an intense, individual taste to a concoction. It's why so many of today's best mixologists see good bitters as the glue that holds a cocktail together.

Difford's Margarita is made with lavender and other (top secret) aromatic botanicals. It brings out the agave flavor and mixes nicely when a dash of salt is added straight to the glass, rather than pasted to its rim.

For every bottle sold, Bob's Bitters, based in Essex, UK, donates £1 to The Benevolent Drinks Industry Charity.
