Gumbo Bitters
The Essence of Creole Cooking in Bitters Form ✨
Gumbo Bitters are as unique as New Orleans itself. Aromatic, savory, and full of depth, they offer rich flavor with a little less heat than their Crawfish Boil Bitters cousins. Notes of creole tomato, filé, onion, bell pepper, celery, and thyme come together to create a well balanced blend that captures the heart of Louisiana cooking in liquid form.
How to Mix:
Add these bitters to savory drinks and watch the magic happen. They shine in Bloody Marys, martinis with a savory twist, and any recipe that calls for warmth and complexity. They also move beautifully into the culinary world. Add a tablespoon to dips, tomato soup, marinades, or use as a finishing touch for raw seafood. Gumbo Bitters bring comfort, depth, and unmistakable South Louisiana character to every sip and every bite.

A Quick Note on Sustainability:
Here in New Orleans, we live on the front lines of climate change. We hand-dip each bottle in wax to avoid adding single use plastic seals to landfills. We use glass packaging and print our labels on recycled kraft paper for maximum sustainability. The apothecary look and feel of our packaging is as intentional as it is beautiful. We’re here to make delicious drinks and help keep Louisiana on the map — literally. [Read more about how we keep it clean and green.]
