About Wicked Bess

Wicked Bess was created by a longtime bartender who believes great drinks are about more than flavor—they’re about feeling. Our shrubs draw from two places that shaped us: the wild berries and crisp air of New England, and the bold spice and sun-drenched fruit of the Caribbean. These flavors aren’t just ingredients—they’re memories. Summers in Massachusetts. Family kitchens filled with clove, citrus, and heat. We bottle that nostalgia, so every pour feels both familiar and exciting. Crafted by hand in small batches in Stoneham, MA, our shrubs are made with real fruit, fresh ginger, chiles, pure cane sugar and vinegar—nothing artificial, ever. They’re ultra-concentrated, so just 1 oz brings bold flavor to cocktails, mocktails, spritzes, or soda water. That means better value, more flexibility, and less waste. Wicked Bess resonates with customers because it’s approachable but elevated—perfect for those looking to drink differently, entertain beautifully, or simply slow down with something real. We’ve grown through tastings, word of mouth, and loyal customers who come back because once they try it, they get it. Stock something that’s rich in flavor and story. Wicked Bess brings both.
