With the craft spirits industry booming in Australia, consumers are turning away from using the stereotypical mixers like Coca Cola and Standard tonic and moving towards adding craft mixers and bitters to their Old Fashioned or favourite Gin cocktail.
Proof of this can be seen in the popularity of the East Imperial Tonic range along with the Fever Tree Tonic range which are available at MyBottleShop.com.au. The East Imperial Grapefruit is made from South East Asian Pomelo blended with Ruby Red Grapefruit – a recipe far from typical & certainly not available at your local Woolies. Connoisseurs and casual drinkers are drinking premium, premium spirits provide complex flavour profiles which can be showcased perfectly by the mixer.
Fever Tree Tonic has produced a pairing guide in order to match your favourite Gin with a range of perfect tonic partners. Taking this crafty approach towards mixing a G&T enables the enjoyment of the same Gin in a number of different ways.
The days of a single choice for bitters is over. MyBottleShop now stocks over 30 varietals of bitters and the range is growing week by week. Some of our newest bitters are coming from the Sydney based Australian Bitters Company. They are handcrafted with care by mixology experts from the finest hand selected natural botanicals herbs and spices in a time honoured secret recipe. Our favourite for the classic Manhattan is their Barrel Spice Bitters.
The time is now for craft spirits. Complimenting these spirits with high quality and hand crafted tonics and bitters will enhance your experience and bring out your inner mixologist!
