Their story
Mister Bitters grew out of Lily Blacks, a cocktail bar in Melbourne with a large bitters collection. The team behind the bar, along with some local drinks enthusiasts, began making their own house blends, and guests kept asking where they could buy them.
The brand launched in 2014 with flavors like Fig and Cinnamon, Honeyed Apricot and Smoked Hickory, and Pink Grapefruit and Agave, and made its international debut that year at Tales of the Cocktail in New Orleans. Lachlan McAllister is one of the owners.
How it's made
Everything is done by hand, from peeling and preparing ingredients to infusing, pressing, blending, filtering, and bottling. The team leans on local Australian ingredients, and blends like the Negroni bitters pair citrus peel with chamomile, star anise, and gin botanicals.
People kept asking us where they could buy our bitters, so Mister Bitters was born.
Why we carry them
These bitters bring flavors you will not find in the usual lineup. A few dashes in an Old Fashioned or even soda water makes a noticeable difference.
