Clove Oil

Clove bud essential oil is primarily known for its intense, spicy, and warm aroma and flavor, often reminiscent of the actual clove spice. In the beverage industry, it’s typically used in small amounts due to its potency, and can be found in a variety of drinks such as mulled wine, spiced teas, and some specialty coffee beverages. It’s also an occasional ingredient in craft cocktails and herbal tinctures. Its strong, distinctive taste can easily dominate other flavors, so it’s usually paired with other robust flavors like cinnamon, ginger, and citrus. Clove bud essential oil not only adds a spicy kick but also brings a sense of warmth and comfort to beverages.
