Bittered Sling Extracts

After many years spent in restaurants, bars, and catering, Lauren Mote and Jonathan Chovancek decided to get to the heart of flavour by making it from scratch in the form of Bittered Sling Extracts, their ever-expanding range of handcrafted bitters.

Strangelove Cocktail

Kill Bill Cocktail

The liqueurs belonging to the House of Bols propose a spectrum of colour and flavour long embraced by the flamboyant purveyors of flair bartending.
