Yuzu Bitters

45% ABV / 50mL Beechworth Bitters is an artisan producer of amari and cocktail bitters, based in Beechworth in northeast Victoria. The venture was born out of chef Michael Ryan’s long-held interest in bitters, which he was (finally) able to pursue during COVID lockdowns while stepping back temporarily from his restaurant operations. Michael works in small batches, using complex blends of over 170 botanicals in his botanical ‘library’ — roots, leaves, fruits, flowers, bark, herbs, and more — often sourced locally or foraged in the Victorian High Country. He employs both maceration and distillation techniques to best extract the flavour from each botanical. Bright yuzu bitters made with fruit from North East Victoria and a hint of spice. Add a few drops to a Martini, highball or anything that needs a sharp citrus lift.
