About Mister Bitters
- Based in
- Melbourne, Australia
- Founded
- 2014
- Known for
- cocktail bitters in distinct flavor blends
Mister Bitters began around 2014 with the team at Lily Blacks, a Melbourne cocktail bar stocked with dozens of bitters. They started blending their own for the bar, and when guests kept asking where to buy them, the house blends became a brand. The bitters are made in Melbourne, in a range of fruit and spice flavors.
Cocktail bitters go into drinks such as a Negroni, an Americano or a Boulevardier a few dashes at a time, and a dash or two in soda water over ice makes a simple bitter spritz.
Mister Bitters questions
What are cocktail bitters?
Bitters are alcohol flavored by steeping botanicals such as herbs, bark, roots and fruit peel, which gives a strongly bitter or bittersweet taste. Bartenders add them by the dash or drop. Many cocktails are already sweet and sour, and a few dashes of bitters add a contrasting flavor that makes the drink more balanced and complex. Mister Bitters peels, infuses, presses, blends and bottles its bitters by hand.
What is a Negroni, and where do bitters fit in?
A Negroni is a cocktail of equal parts gin, sweet red vermouth and Campari, built in the glass over ice and garnished with orange. Campari is itself a bitter Italian aperitif, a drink traditionally served before meals, so the Negroni is a bitter cocktail by design. Bartenders add cocktail bitters to drinks like it by the dash for an extra layer of herbs, peel or spice.
