Babylonstoren has set out to bottle the taste of their garden and have created a sparkling non-alcoholic aperitif that champions the unique flavours of the farm. Combining honeybush with a zesty citrus kick from blood oranges and grapefruit, the pleasant bitterness of an orange peel and a delicate touch of herbal top notes, Bitterlekker is an incredible taste sensation that keeps you wanting more. 

Enjoy Bitterlekker as a refreshing spring drink over crushed ice or topped up with sparkling water and some garnish. Mix things up and serve Bitterlekker as a tonic with a dash of gin and lots of ice or as a base for a different delectable cocktail.

Ingredients: Carbonated water, sugar, Babylonstoren honeybush tea extract, blood orange and other citrus flavours, bitter orange peel extract (1%), rosemary extract (1%), citric acid, salt, preservatives (potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate), quinine, colourant.

The iconic gardens Babylonstoren are finally sharing with us their bounty! Surrounded by the Simonsberg, Du Toitskloof and Franschhoek mountains, Babylonstoren is a national treasure. The historic fruit and wine farm has expanded, inspired by the past and taking its cue from the Company’s Garden of Cape Town, which supplied passing ships to the Cape with food in the 1600s. All of the more than 300 varieties of plants in the garden are edible or have medicinal value, with everything from blood oranges to asparagus, mushrooms and persimmons supplying the farm’s two restaurants, Babel and the Greenhouse, as well as their online farm shop.
