Onlybitters.com Now Ships Cocktail Bitters to New Zealand

Press Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Onlybitters.com now offers the largest range of cocktail bitters in Australia and New Zealand … over 202 varieties to tempt your palate!

Melbourne, Australia, July 23, 2013: Australia’s first online retailer of the largest variety of cocktail bitters now ships to New Zealand.

The concept behind www.onlybitters.com was born out of frustration at not being able to locally procure the various bitters used by great craft cocktail barmen around the globe.

Catering to a renaissance of craft cocktails as an art form, boutique bitters are becoming an increasingly sought-after accent ingredient, giving subtlety or boldness to any recipe, be it classic, innovative or downright experimental.

“Angostura Bitters, the market mainstay is quite easy to find and probably enjoys over 95% of all bitter sales in Australia and New Zealand,” says John Dimitropoulos (JD), passionate cocktail enthusiast, and the founder of www.onlybitters.com. JD believes it's time people in Australia and New Zealand discovered something different.

“Liquor retailers have been slow to pick up and range bitters, and hence we are filling a latent demand in the marketplace”. “We have been pleasantly surprised at the enthusiastic response and orders we have been receiving in Australia for our wide range of bitters, and hope to replicate this in New Zealand” says JD.

Others are excited too. Soon after launching, Only Bitters had write-ups in Australian Gourmet Traveller, Barfly, and Bartender magazines.

The online store offers exciting brands such as Scrappy’s Bitters & Kari’s from Seattle, The Bitter End from Santa Fe New Mexico, Fee Brothers from Rochester NY, The Bitter Truth from Germany, Bittermens from Brooklyn NY and Dr Adam Elmegirab’s from Scotland. Other brands with equally exciting names now available, including Bittercube from Chicago, Bitters Old Men, Brooklyn Hemispherical, Dale DeGroff and Hella all from New York. Bob’s and Master of Malt from the UK, Bitter Tears and Bar Keep from LA.

Mainstays like Peychaud’s, Regan’s and Angostura Orange are also sold.

Recently introduced brands include… Bad Dog Barcraft, Miracle Mile, Cocktail Kingdom, Sweetgrass Farms, KathyCasey, Dutch’s, Dram, Van Wees and Collins Brothers.

The variations available are mind-boggling. Flavours range from Aromatic to Fruit (apples, peach, cherry), to Citrus (orange, lemon, lime), to Savoury & Vegetable (celery, rhubarb & bacon!), to Herbed, Spice and Floral (habanero, cardamom, lavender), and of course, Chocolate! The online store has been created as a niche one-stop shop to cater to cocktail enthusiasts, amateurs and professionals alike, who can all delight in experimenting and creating their own original cocktail creations.

To sum it up, the only place to go for all your bitters needs.

To cater for the professional market preparing their own bitters, Only Bitters are also selling empty glass bitters bottles for those interested in making their own blends.

Very new to the Only Bitters offering is a range of Shrubs and Tonics….Liber & Co’s shrub & tonic, Shrub & Co, Pok Pok Som, Jack Rudy, TomR’s and John’s Premium are all carried.

In addition to its vast range of bitters, www.onlybitters.com are also starting to range artisanal hand made syrups. See their Small Hand Syrups varietals.

For inspiration, Only Bitters offer books on bitters (eg. Bitters: A Spirited History of a Classic Cure-All, with Cocktails, Recipes, and Formulas) and on cocktail recipes using bitters (eg. The PDT Cocktail Book: The Complete Bartender's Guide from the Celebrated Speakeasy) and many more.
