Australian Bitters Company
Australian Bitters Company is Australian born and raised. We’re the first bitters brand to be
made Down Under. It’s one of the key ingredients that make our bitters so different.
When you drop a dash or few into your cocktail, you don’t just get a bold, wholesome flavour, you get all the goodness of Australia—from our easy-going approach to life, to our fiery passion for the things we love, and more. Cheers, mate.
Our Croc-Guarded, Secret Family Recipe
Saltwater Crocodiles can grow over 6 metres long, and are considered the most dangerous
crocodile species in the world. You can find them floating along the waterways of northern Australia, and around the undisclosed location of our secret family recipe.
Koalas and the Ferocious Drop Bears
Koalas, a.k.a. the Aussie Teddy. These marsupials are known for their fluffy ears and
laid-back approach to life. Mostly nocturnal, they can spend up to 20 hours a day sleeping.
Koalas are equipped with sharp claws for climbing, and spend most of their non-sleeping hours in eucalyptus trees, feeding on leaves. Despite their timid appearance, Koalas can be quite vocal.
According to Aussie folklore, Drop Bears are the ferocious, carnivorous cousins of the koala. They're known to drop from trees on unsuspecting tourists. Your best form of protection: a generous application of Vegemite on any exposed skin areas. Of course, drop bears were made up for a bit of a laugh. Or were they?
The Boxing Kangaroo
Kangaroo. Skippy. Kanga. Roo. Meet Australia’s greatest icon. These powerful marsupials are known for their strong hind legs, large feet, and long tails that help them balance while hopping at high speeds. Kangaroos carry their baby roos, joeys (awww!), in a pouch until they’re ready to take on the world one hop at time.
Kangaroos are known to be natural boxers. Males can throw a proper punch while
competing for dominance or a mate. Think we’re joking? Check out this kanga street brawl here or let David Attenborough give you a quick knockout course here.
Brown Sssnake
In the pecking order of ‘Aussie animals that can kill you’ Brown Snakes sit right at the top.
While they come with the title of ‘world’s second-most venomous land snake,’ Brown Snakes are pretty shy and would rather flee than fight. So, don’t worry about them too much. Just watch your step.
Camels
Fun fact: Australia is home to over a million wild camels.
Camels were introduced to the Land Down Under in the 1840s to help explore this vast
continent, and transport goods across it. When they were no longer needed, they were released into the wild, and have since thrived into the world’s largest population of the species.
Today, these feral creatures roam the Outback and are a part of life there—from races to tours, and of course, the occasional cross-country bitters delivery.
