Classic Cocktails & Fancy Drinks

Celebrate 200 years of timeless mixology with Angostura Bitters

Step into the world of classic cocktails with Angostura Bitters. Celebrating its 200th anniversary, Angostura Bitters is essential in timeless drinks such as the Old Fashioned, Manhattan and Champagne Cocktail. This iconic ingredient has not only helped shape the history of cocktails, but has truly stood the test of time.

Now readers can explore a range of classic cocktails and fancy drinks specially designed to showcase its distinct and versatile flavour. Find simple three-ingredient cocktails such as a sweet Stone Fence, an elegant Star and a savory Tuxedo, or cool off on a summer's day with a refreshing Queen's Park Swizzle, the iconic Singapore Sling or a zesty Daiquiri. Go heavy on the liquor with a sophisticated Martini, the fresh Fitzgerald or spiced Mandarin Sazerac, or go for a low alcohol option such as a tangy Lemon Lime and Bitters, a herbal Green Mind Collins and a fruity Sober Summer Cup.

As you explore these classic drinks, delve into the rich history of Angostura Bitters to find out how it was originally created as a medicine, how nineteenth century sailors used the bitters to invent the Pink Gin cocktail and why the label is too big for the bottle. Beautifully photographed and designed with a host of timeless recipes and twisted takes on classic drinks, this is the perfect book for any cocktail lover.

Shipping & Delivery

In order to make things simple and convenient, we have set our delivery pricing with our couriers based on a standard delivery box, with dimensions of 330mm L x 250mm W x 310mm H, and a maximum weight of 18kg.

To get an idea of how much that is, the delivery box fits up to 12 bottles of wine, one kitchen mixer, or a feather and down duvet inner. Your total delivery charge is automatically calculated in the checkout – simply enter your delivery region and let our system do the rest.

Your order is then sent out by our couriers and delivered right to your door. When orders contain alcohol, someone over the age of 18 must be present to sign for it – if you can’t be home at the time, we recommend that the order is sent to a workplace.

If no one aged 18 or over is present when delivery is attempted, a contact card will be left by the courier, and redelivery can be arranged with them.

Once payment is received, your orders will usually be with you in up to 5 working. You can track your order once it has been collected by Courier Post – an email with the tracking reference will be sent to you automatically. Please note that Courier Post do not collect from us on Saturday or Sunday, any orders placed during the weekend will be dispatched the following Monday.

Q: I’ve seen a product in store but can’t find it on your website. How can I order it?

If there's something you are after that isn't yet available here on our website, contact us and we'll see what we can do. If it’s something we have in stock and can send by courier, we will do our very best to make it available on our website.

Q: Why is there a minimum order quantity for some products?

Some of our products – such as beer and grocery items – can be bought individually in store, but we can only courier them in set quantities (such as boxes, cases or cartons). It is often quite a lot cheaper to buy in these quantities, which is why we show both the individual and bulk prices on the product pages. It’s always nice to know what you’re saving!
