George Randall discovered these on his last trip to sunny Arizona and thought these bitter would go over great here- and we can’t disagree with him! AZ Bitters Lab produces two small batch bitters, Maz Mole with cocoa nibs and chiles; and Figgy Pudding.

These intense, aromatic bitters add so much to any classic cocktail. We’ve posted a couple of recipes below to get you started.

Margarita Tommy-style

• 2 oz reposado or añejo tequila
• 1 oz fresh squeezed lime juice
• 1 oz agave syrup (half agave nectar, half water)
• 1-2 dashes of AZBL Más Mole bitters

Add all ingredients in to a shaker, add ice, shake for 20 seconds, double strain into a rocks glass filled with ice.

Figgy Manhattan

• 2.5 oz of your favorite rye or bourbon
• 1 oz of good sweet vermouth
• 1 dash of AZBL Figgy Pudding bitters
• (optional) 1 barspoon of Luxardo Maraschino liqueur
• garnish, orange zest

Add whiskey, vermouth, maraschino, and bitters to mixing glass. Add ice, stir for 20-30seconds, strain into chilled rocks glass (no ice). Rub orange zest around the rim and drop in glass

And a variation on the Old Fashioned, with Apple Brandy and MAs Mole:

• 2 oz Laird’s Applejack
• 0.25 oz Averna
• 0.25 oz Sweet Vermouth
• 2 dashes AZBL Más Mole bitters
• 1 sugar cube

Drop the cube in a glass and douse with a couple of dashes of bitters. Splash in a bit of Applejack and muddle. Add remaining ingredients along with some ice, stir, strain into a Old Fashioned glass with a single piece of ice. Orange peel for a garnish.
