Allspice, cinnamon, and tropical spice — the warm backbone behind every great tiki cocktail. Made from allspice berries, cinnamon bark, nutmeg, and clove, then infused in high-proof spirit for three weeks. Tiki bitters unify the complex ingredient lists that define tiki drinks. Three rums, orgeat, lime, and falernum need something to tie them together. A few dashes of tiki bitters do that work, giving Mai Tais and Zombies the spice structure that separates a good tiki drink from a great one.

What to Make with House-Made Tiki Bitters

Mai Tai

Rum, orgeat, lime, curaçao, tiki bitters

Allspice and cinnamon lift the orgeat. The bitters give the drink a spice backbone that connects the lime and rum layers.

Zombie

Three rums, lime, falernum, cinnamon, tiki bitters

Reinforces the cinnamon syrup. Three rums need something to unify them, and tiki bitters do that work.

Painkiller

Rum, pineapple, coconut, orange, tiki bitters

Tropical depth that rum alone can't deliver. The nutmeg in the bitters mirrors the garnish and deepens the pineapple.

Dark & Stormy

Dark rum, ginger beer, lime, tiki bitters

Spiced ginger beer meets spiced bitters. Each sip hits twice.

Mai Tai, Zombie, Painkiller, Dark & Stormy — any rum-based cocktail. Tiki bitters also work in hot toddies and mulled wine during winter. Anywhere you want warm spice without adding syrup.

At 2–3 dashes per cocktail, a 5 oz bottle makes roughly 80–100 cocktails. For most home bartenders, that is 4–6 months of regular use.
