Burdock Bouvier D'brusco
$30.29
From Burdock
"Barrel aged beer rested on Cab Fran Rose skins from Pearl Morissette. Big juicy flavours and natural charisma (effervescence), make it easy to mistake this big dog as part of the lambrusco breed.
Expect big bubbly action, we suggest chilling Bouv and opening with a glass near by!"

Trav's Orange Bitters

From Trav's Website
"This is a bright, multi-layered citrus punch hand-crafted in small batches in Cochrane, Alberta.
Why It’s Better
While the standard brands can be syrupy or artificial, ours hits with the zest of fresh orange peel and a warm, secret spice backbone. It’s designed to be the "Superman" of your bar cart—fixing flat drinks and bridging complex flavors. It's great in floral, fruity, bright drinks, or anything that calls for bitters where you'd like citrus notes.
The Baker's Secret ????

The Ultimate Martini: Adds a sophisticated, zesty depth.
Margaritas: A secret weapon for a cleaner, craftier finish.

Trav's Chocolate Bitters
$17.99
From the Producer;
Made in Cochrane, Alberta.
"Rich, dark, and complex. This isn't just "chocolate water"—it’s a deep, unsweetened infusion made with real cacao nibs for a true-to-bean flavor.
Why It’s Better
Most chocolate bitters hide behind vanilla and sugar. I lead with raw, bittersweet cacao nibs, extracting the pure, nutty essence of chocolate without the sweetness. It adds a "velvety" texture and a dry, sophisticated finish. This isn't a cheap product to produce - I use over 30lbs of cacao nibs in a 100L batch.
The Real Ingredient Difference
By using real cacao nibs rather than extracts, I capture the natural oils and complex tannins of the bean. This results in a bitter that stands up to bold ryes and smoky bourbons instead of getting lost in the glass.
Perfect For:
Chocolate Old Fashioned: I actually love this. The cacao blends really well with aged spirits.
Espresso Martinis: Bridges the gap between coffee and spirit.
Dessert Topping: Try a few dashes over premium vanilla ice cream.
Big Batch Energy. Hand-Crafted in Canada.
