Beesou
All-natural aperitif. Kissed by honey. Saving the bees.
Beesou
Beesou is a London-crafted, all-natural bitter aperitif built on a base of ethically sourced fermented honey — a genuinely new proposition in the aperitif category. Founded by Mark and Andrei, two lifelong friends who couldn't find an aperitif that met their standards for natural ingredients and full transparency, Beesou was born from a simple frustration: most alcohol brands don't list their ingredients, and many use E-numbers for colouring. Every Beesou bottle carries a full ingredient list on the label — no artificial colours, no artificial flavours, no refined sugars. The brand is B Corp certified, reflecting a commitment to environmental and social responsibility that extends beyond the liquid to the supply chain, with a particular focus on bee conservation and sustainable honey sourcing. For buyers looking to offer their customers an aperitif they can feel genuinely good about — both in terms of what's in the glass and what the brand stands for — Beesou fills a space that the traditional aperitif category has left wide open.

About the product 🥃
Beesou is an all-natural bitter aperitif that swaps the usual sugar for honey. It blends ethically sourced fermented British honey with natural botanicals, for a distinctive twist on the traditional aperitif. There are no artificial ingredients, flavourings or colourings and no refined sugars, and its yellow colour comes from natural safflower extract. At just 11% ABV, it works in spritzes and cocktails or over ice. 11% vol, 70cl. Awards include IWSC Gold 2025, London Spirits Competition Gold 2024, and World Liqueur Awards Gold 2023, where it was also named England’s best aperitif.
Tasting notes 👃
Complex top notes of cinchona bark and chinotto open the blend, leading to a burst of bitter orange and pink grapefruit. These round out into the mellow sweetness of raw honey. Bitter first, then honeyed, and not sweet overall. Reviewers describe a great bitter bite, and say it adds real character to a Negroni, a G&T or a spritz. The brand’s signature serve is the Beesou Spritz.
