Expert Review and Insights
In a market flooded with flavoured syrups, Stillabunt's bitters stand out for their authenticity. The chocolate note is rich and dark, like proper cocoa, not sugary or synthetic. It integrates beautifully into spirits, adding complexity rather than just a simple flavour. It’s a proper 'bartender's tool' for fine-tuning drinks and a must-have for any serious bar setup.

- Strength: The cocoa flavour is incredibly authentic and blends seamlessly into spirits.
- Consideration: Its high concentration means you need a very light hand when pouring.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
A trendy speakeasy in Bristol's Clifton neighbourhood was looking for a way to subtly reinvent their classic cocktail menu to stand out from the local competition. They introduced the Stillabunt Chocolate Bitters to their back bar to experiment with richer flavour profiles.
"We needed something that added genuine depth without making our drinks sweet. These bitters were perfect. The chocolate note is sophisticated, and our customers noticed the improved quality in our signature Manhattan and Old Fashioned cocktails straight away."
David Chen – Head Mixologist
The change contributed to a 25% increase in sales of their signature 'Bristol Brown' cocktail within the first three months.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Upon arrival, give the bottle a gentle shake to ensure the blend is perfectly mixed.
- Store in a cool, dark place like a back bar shelf or cupboard, away from direct sunlight.
- The dropper is built-in; simply unscrew the cap and it's ready for immediate use.
- Familiarise yourself with its potency by testing a single drop in a glass of soda water.
Keeping It Going
- Always ensure the cap is screwed on tightly after use to prevent evaporation and preserve the aroma.
- Wipe the glass dropper with a clean cloth if it becomes sticky to ensure a clean pour every time.
- Keep the bottle away from extreme heat sources like ovens or grills to maintain flavour integrity.
- Monitor the best-before date on the label for optimal quality, though it has a very long shelf life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are the Stillabunt chocolate bitters alcoholic?
A: Yes, like most traditional bitters, they have an alcohol base which acts as a solvent for the flavours. However, they are used in such small quantities (a few drops) that they contribute a negligible amount of alcohol to the final drink.
Q: How many drops should I use per cocktail?
A: Due to their high concentration, we recommend starting with 2-3 drops and adjusting to your taste. For most drinks, this is more than enough to impart a rich flavour and aroma.
Q: What spirits does this pair best with?
A: It's incredibly versatile but shines brightest with aged spirits like whisky, rum, and brandy. It's also a classic component for enhancing vodka in an Espresso Martini.
Q: Are these bitters sweet?
A: No, they are not sweet. They are designed to add aromatic complexity and the bitter, rich notes of dark cocoa, not sugary sweetness.
Q: Is the bottle made of glass or plastic?
A: The bottle is made of glass to best preserve the integrity and flavour of the bitters inside.
Q: Can I use this in hot drinks like coffee or hot chocolate?
A: Absolutely. A few drops can add a wonderful aromatic depth to coffee, lattes, or a luxury hot chocolate, making it a great tool for cafés as well as bars.
Q: Do these bitters contain any nuts or other common allergens?
A: These bitters are 100% gluten-free and do not contain nuts, but it's always best to check the label for the most up-to-date allergen information.
Q: How should I store the bottle once opened?
A: Store it in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed. There is no need for refrigeration.
The Stillabunt Standard: Flavour Purity for the Modern Mixologist
In the world of professional bartending, consistency is king. The Stillabunt brand is built on this principle, delivering flavour purity that professionals can trust, bottle after bottle. Choosing this premium chocolate bitters 95ml bottle isn't just about adding an ingredient; it's an investment in your bar's reputation. It signals a commitment to quality over quantity, using curated, authentic components to build drinks that customers remember and return for. By moving beyond generic syrups and basic flavourings, you create a more sophisticated and memorable experience. This focus on quality reduces drink inconsistencies, elevates your menu, and ultimately builds long-term customer loyalty. With Stillabunt, you're not just mixing a drink; you're crafting an identity.
A Drop of Genius: Why Concentrated Flavour Matters
You might see 'concentrated blend' and just think 'strong', but for a bartender, it means so much more. Think of it like cooking: you could use a whole spoonful of cheap powder to get a hint of spice, or just a tiny pinch of high-quality saffron for a vibrant, authentic flavour. These bitters are the saffron of the cocktail world. Because the flavour is so intense and pure, you only need a couple of drops. This means you’re not watering down your cocktail with excess liquid, preserving the carefully balanced alcohol content and texture. It also means one 95ml bottle lasts an incredibly long time, delivering consistent flavour from the first drop to the last, ensuring your signature drink tastes the same every single time.
