Bittermens Orange Cream Citrate

I tried this in a plain seltzer and the orange-vanilla combo gave it a surprisingly creamy feel, like a boozy cream soda without the alcohol. It’s become my go-to for mocktails when I want something that feels special.

A few drops in my morning coffee turned it into something closer to a creamsicle than a plain espresso, and the orange zest comes through without any sharp bite. It’s non-alcoholic, so I’ve been adding it to sparkling water at night too, and the vanilla rounds everything out just right.

The vanilla comes through just as strong as the orange, which makes it perfect for a creamy, dessert-style cocktail. I’ve been adding a few drops to my coffee and it turns it into a soda-shop treat without any sweetness.
