Craft bitters, syrups and mixers for better cocktails

58 bottles from 7 independent makers

A cocktail is only as good as everything that goes into it besides the spirit. These are the bitters, syrups and sodas that serious bartenders reach for, made in small batches by independent makers who obsess over the same details you do.

There is a lot of personality on this shelf. B.G. Reynolds in Portland revives lost tiki ingredients like Red Fassionola. Yes Cocktail Co. in Paso Robles ages bitters in rye whiskey barrels. Strongwater in Denver makes everything from chai-spiced aromatic bitters to a Nordic tonic, and Liquid Alchemist in Los Angeles presses real fruit into cocktail syrups. Browse bitters, syrups and shrubs or tonics and sodas.

Who makes these

Questions

Mixers questions, answered

Why use craft mixers instead of standard ones?

Mass-market mixers are often built for shelf life over flavor, with artificial colors and a lot of sugar. Craft mixers use real fruit, real spices and cane sugar, so they taste brighter and let the spirit come through.

Do these mixers work in mocktails?

Most of them do. Syrups, shrubs and sodas are alcohol-free, and many makers design them for zero-proof drinks too. Bitters are usually alcohol-based but used in such small amounts that many people still include them in low and no-alcohol drinks.
