Adam developed the Dandelion & Burdock Bitters based on the flavors found in Dandelion and Burdock, a traditional English drink.
Originally dandelion and burdock was in fact a very light mead (honey wine) made since the Middle Ages. In the meantime, Dandelion & Burdock has developed into a sparkling soft-drink that no longer contains the two ingredients which give its name.
As opposed to this “commercial soda”, the Dandelion & Burdock bitters are produced from the finest dandelions and the so-called burdock, a plant of the daisy family.

The taste of the Dandelion & Burdock is certainly complex. Aside from ginger, anise, lemon, orange, licorice, and cloves, the bitter also carries a malty cane sugar flavor. The bitter tastes sweet and earthy during the aftertaste. The bitter lends a pleasantly deep taste to plenty of various cocktails.
It can refine a Gin & Tonic as well as Martini or tequila.
Adam himself developed the “Chiapas Old Fashioned” that works with this bitter (see cocktails with Dr. Adam Elmegirab's Dandelion & Burdock Bitters).
Use it to enhance the flavor and aroma of your beverages and dishes.
Dr. Adam Elmegirab’s Bitters was established in 2009 from the same Scottish bartender and adviser who is known for the Jerry Thomas Project, whose goal is to recreate drinks described by the legendary “Professor”. Elmegirab explains the whole project with a wink of an eye and under false pretences, the real goal being to drink cocktails every day. But they shouldn't be just any cocktails. It's all about the bitters! Therefore Elmegirab's advertising slogan: “You can't buy happiness but you can buy bitters and that's kinda the same thing.“
