Note from 10Best: Someday, we'll all be ready to pack our suitcases again and head out on our next adventures. In the meantime, we'll keep supporting the places that inspire us.
A killer cocktail calls for killer ingredients, and that applies to more than just the booze. The craft distilling movement has buoyed a similar wave of companies hand-crafting their own lines of cocktail bitters, tonics, mixers, syrups and sipping vinegars, all with an eye toward elevating the cocktail experience.
The top 10 winners in the category Best Craft Mixer are as follows:
- Element Shrub
- Simple Times Mixers
- Fresh Victor
- Nickel Dime Cocktail Syrups
- FloraLuna Apothecary & Trading Co.
- Bitter Girl Bitters
- AVEC Drinks
- 1888 Dirtiest Martini Mix
- Morris Kitchen
- Regatta Craft Mixers
A panel of experts partnered with 10Best editors to pick the initial nominees, and the top 10 winners were determined by popular vote.
Congratulations to all these winning mixer companies!
