Collection: Bird's Nest Drink

Bird's nest drink, bottled

A bird's nest drink is edible swiftlet nest that has already been soaked, cleaned and double-boiled, then bottled so it can be opened and served without any preparation. It is the same ingredient as our dried whole nests — people sometimes search for it as "bird spit drink" or "swallow nest drink" — in a form that keeps in the pantry and travels well.

Every bottle in this collection is made with real edible bird's nest. We offer a sugar-free version and a version sweetened with rock sugar. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Bottled or dried: which one?

• Choose the drink for convenience, gifting to someone who does not cook, or a single serving on the go.
• Choose dried whole nest when you want to control the portion and sweetness yourself. A standard serving is 3–5 g of dried nest; one whole nest is 8–14 g, or 2–4 standard servings. See our portion calculator and the dried edible bird's nest collection.

Common questions

What is a bird's nest drink?

Edible bird's nest that has been prepared and bottled. It is the same swiftlet nest sold dried, served ready to drink.

How much does a bird's nest drink cost?

Prices per bottle and per pack are listed on each product in this collection. Dried whole nest works out to a lower cost per serving if you prepare it yourself.

Is "bird spit drink" the same thing?

Yes. Swiftlets build their nests from hardened saliva, so some people call the drink "bird spit" or "swallow nest" drink. All three names refer to edible bird's nest.

Does it need refrigeration?

Unopened bottles keep at room temperature until the date on the label. Refrigerate after opening and finish within a few days.
