DIBS Mixers Announces National Expansion of Premium Cocktail Syrups
Bridging the Gap Between Quality and Accessibility in Craft Cocktails In an era where the home cocktail culture has flourished, yet access to high-quality ingredients remains limited, DIBS Mixers has emerged as a revolutionary solution. Founded by Ohio Crawford, a seasoned spirits educator and hospitality veteran, DIBS Mixers has made it possible for both professional bar programs and home bartenders to enjoy premium cocktail syrups without the need for hours of preparation or the high price tag often associated with craft cocktails. The company’s range of syrups, Spiced, Demerara, and Red Fassionola, are crafted using authentic recipes and real ingredients, offering both convenience and quality. What sets DIBS Mixers apart is its commitment to creating products that are rooted in professional bartending techniques but made accessible to everyone. From the high-volume environments of bars and restaurants to the home bars of enthusiasts, DIBS syrups provide the perfect balance of quality and ease of use. DIBS is now distributed nationwide, both in professional settings and directly to consumers through platforms like Amazon. A Founder’s Vision Rooted in Experience DIBS Mixers was born from Ohio Crawford’s extensive background in the spirits industry. Over the years, Crawford has earned formal spirits certifications and established deep connections with distilleries across the U.S. and Mexico. His hands-on experience led him to recognize a significant gap in the industry. While professional bartenders spent hours batch prepping syrups, many home enthusiasts were forced to rely on artificial ingredients or skip craft cocktails altogether. Crawford’s response was DIBS Mixers, cocktail syrups made with real sugars, natural spices, and traditional techniques that deliver the same high-quality results found in the best bars. "I spent years touring distilleries and earning spirits certifications," Crawford explains. "DIBS came from a simple question: why should quality ingredients only exist behind expensive bar programs? The answer is they shouldn’t." A Rare, Authentic Ingredient in High Demand Among DIBS’ standout products is the Red Fassionola syrup, which has quickly become a favorite among cocktail enthusiasts. Red Fassionola is one of the only authentic versions of this rare tiki-era syrup available commercially. Traditionally requiring hours of preparation and specialty sourcing, Red Fassionola has been all but lost in the cocktail world. With DIBS Mixers, it has been brought back to life, providing bartenders with an authentic option for making classic tiki cocktails like the Zombie and Hurricane without the lengthy prep work. “It was nearly impossible to find a true Red Fassionola commercially. Bartenders either spent hours making it from scratch or skipped tiki cocktails altogether. We brought back an authentic version because these recipes deserve to exist beyond high-end cocktail bars,” says Crawford. Expanding Nationally, One Syrup at a Time DIBS Mixers is committed to scaling its impact across the country, providing both professional establishments and home bartenders with the tools they need to create exceptional cocktails. Currently, DIBS syrups are available in bars, restaurants, and hotels across multiple states and are also sold directly to consumers through Amazon. With its national distribution, DIBS is helping bars maintain high standards of cocktail quality, even when faced with resource constraints. "Bars and restaurants often struggle with high-volume demands and limited prep time. DIBS helps us streamline our operations without compromising on the quality of the drinks," says Carlos M., a bartender at a 600-seat restaurant. A Texas-Based Company with National Appeal While DIBS Mixers may have roots in San Antonio, Texas, the company’s reach extends far beyond its home state. DIBS syrups are now sold nationally, making it possible for cocktail enthusiasts across the country to enjoy top-tier ingredients without the premium price tag. Made in Texas with a focus on supporting the local economy, DIBS’ commitment to quality, authenticity, and accessibility has set it apart from competitors. DIBS Mixers is featured in Chilled Magazine, a prominent bartender publication, and continues to receive recognition for its impact on the cocktail industry. Whether serving a high-volume bar or a home enthusiast, DIBS is helping redefine what it means to make craft cocktails accessible to all. The Story Behind DIBS Mixers Founded by spirits educator and distillery expert Ohio Crawford, DIBS Mixers offers a line of premium cocktail syrups designed to make high-quality ingredients accessible to everyone. DIBS offers an authentic approach to crafting drinks, using natural ingredients and traditional methods to create syrups that meet the standards of professional bartenders and home enthusiasts alike. With its national distribution, including availability on Amazon, DIBS Mixers continues to revolutionize the cocktail industry by providing premium syrups without the hours of prep work or the inflated costs of traditional craft cocktail ingredients. About DIBS Mixers DIBS Mixers is a premium cocktail syrup company founded by Ohio Crawford, a spirits educator and hospitality professional with years of experience touring distilleries across the U.S. and Mexico. DIBS produces high-quality syrups crafted using traditional techniques and real ingredients, offering bars, restaurants, and home bartenders a convenient solution for creating premium cocktails.

Alexander Elixirs and Essentials Announces Revolutionary Botanical Cocktail Foamer
The End of Egg Whites and Synthetic Foamers A Quiet Revolution in Cocktail Texture For over a century, bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts have relied on egg whites to create silky, lasting foam in all kinds of drinks, especially sours and fizzes. However, the practice, while traditional, has its challenges: allergens, consistency issues, speed at busy bars, and limited appeal to vegan guests. The search for an alternative has long been a struggle, with many synthetic and early botanical solutions failing to meet the high standards demanded by professional bartenders. Now, Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials has cracked the code, delivering a truly neutral botanical cocktail foamer that solves these longstanding problems. From Cocktail Foams to a Botanical Solution The story of Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials begins with founder Alexander Hartunian, a bartender turned formulator, who found himself frustrated by the industry’s acceptance of egg whites as the go-to foaming agent. Despite numerous alternatives over the years, ranging from synthetic agents to early botanical options, none delivered on the promises of consistency, flavor neutrality, and sustainability. The breakthrough came when Alexander decided to experiment with nature’s own solution, plants. Drawing from the principles of molecular mixology and apothecary tradition, Alexander started a small-batch production process in his micro-apothecary lab. There, he began experimenting with high-grade, responsibly sourced botanicals and plant extracts to create the industry’s first truly clean, neutral, and plant-based foamer. Hundreds of test batches, pH curve experiments, and blind tastings later, Alexander’s Original Cocktail Foamer was born, an innovation that would soon find its place in top bars and independent bottle shops across the country. Why Egg Whites Could No Longer Be the Standard For over 100 years, egg whites have been the default foaming agent in cocktails. However, they come with several major drawbacks: risk of allergic reactions, inconsistent foam texture, the time-consuming process of separating eggs, and a problematic lack of inclusivity for vegan guests. Additionally, egg whites can create a distinct aroma and flavor profile that some consumers find off-putting. Bars also struggle with the logistics of maintaining fresh eggs, especially during late hours. Synthetic alternatives that followed often created further complications. Many of these foamers use chemical stabilizers, leaving a lingering plastic or waxy aftertaste. Other early botanical alternatives were simply too bitter or overpowering, introducing earthy or root beer-like notes that clashed with delicate spirits. The Birth of a Better Foamer Recognizing the flaws in both synthetic and early botanical alternatives, Hartunian took a different approach, listening more closely to nature. "Plants have been making perfect foam for millions of years. We just had to listen harder than everyone else," Hartunian reflects. By isolating specific plant compounds and balancing them carefully, he achieved a plant-based foamer that remains completely neutral in flavor and aroma, allowing the cocktail’s true essence to shine through. Alexander’s Original Cocktail Foamer is a game-changer for both professional bartenders and home enthusiasts alike. Free from synthetic additives, artificial flavors, or preservatives, it creates a stable, silky microfoam without the chemical or bitter aftertaste that has plagued the industry. The foamer’s neutral composition means it doesn’t disrupt the delicate balance of flavors in cocktails, whether they feature gin, whiskey, or other spirits. Why Top Bars Embrace the Change The initial reception of Alexander’s foamer by top bars was overwhelmingly positive. Professionals appreciated the consistency, ease of use, and most importantly, the texture that elevated the drinks without interfering with the flavor. In a time when cocktail culture is rapidly evolving, bartenders are looking for innovative solutions that align with the growing demand for plant-based, sustainable products. Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials has successfully addressed these needs, creating a foaming solution that matches the high standards of the craft cocktail community. Not only does this foamer provide a cleaner, more natural alternative to egg whites, but it also eliminates the need for aquafaba (a plant-based egg white alternative that many people are allergic to, causing throat swelling) or synthetic foamers, which often fail to provide the same texture or taste. The introduction of Alexander’s Original Cocktail Foamer has sparked a small revolution in how bars approach cocktail texture, inclusivity, and flavor integrity. Crafting a Neutral, Professional Solution The core of Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials’ success lies in the meticulous development process that led to the creation of the Original Cocktail Foamer. Using traditional chemistry methods such as vacuum degassing, filtration, and activated charcoal neutralization, the company crafted a product that is clear, flavor-neutral, and stable. It’s a foamer that bartenders can rely on to deliver a consistently flawless texture without compromising on flavor. The result is a product that bars can confidently use to enhance the overall drink experience, without worrying about ingredients that might upset the balance of the cocktail. In a market filled with brands that cut corners or outsource production, Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials stands apart for its commitment to quality and authenticity. The company is proudly self-distributed in select U.S. markets and offers direct-to-consumer sales nationwide. Their line of all-natural bitters, syrups, and the award-winning cocktail foamer is carried by independent bottle shops, upscale cocktail bars, and specialty retailers that prioritize transparency and performance. The Clean-Label Revolution The launch of Alexander’s Original Cocktail Foamer is part of a broader movement toward clean-label products in the beverage industry. As consumers increasingly demand transparency, sustainability, and quality in what they consume, Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials remains at the forefront of this revolution. The brand's commitment to crafting high-performance products without synthetic additives or processed ingredients has earned recognition from industry leaders and cocktail aficionados alike. About Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials Founded by Alexander Hartunian, Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials is a premium, plant-based cocktail enhancer and botanical essentials brand. The company specializes in crafting small-batch, all-natural bitters, tinctures, syrups, and the industry’s first 100% botanical cocktail foamer. Built on the intersection of molecular mixology and modern apothecary tradition, Alexander’s Elixirs and Essentials is committed to providing high-quality, responsibly sourced ingredients for both professional bartenders and home enthusiasts.

Fudge Fairy Co. Reinvents Fudge with Spoonable Treat
The Birth of Fudge Fairy Co.: Grief, Healing, and a Sweet Connection Losing a loved one is a heart-wrenching experience, and for Jacqueline, the passing of her mother in 2023 left an emotional void that was hard to fill. In search of something to hold onto, she began to make fudge, a dessert her mother had adored but they never made together. It wasn’t just about creating something sweet; it was a way to feel close to her, a tiny act of connection that filled her with solace. “Stirring that pot felt soothing, like a small, sweet way of staying close to her,” Jacqueline reflects. “It became a ritual, something that anchored me when everything else felt uncertain.” What began as a personal endeavor soon caught the attention of family and friends. Jacqueline shared jars of her fudge as gifts, and the response was overwhelming. Word spread quickly, and before she knew it, the demand was too high to ignore. Orders started rolling in, and Jacqueline found herself selling fudge at local pop-ups, shipping nationwide, and experimenting with new, exciting flavors. It wasn’t long before Jacqueline realized that this wasn’t just a healing project; it was the start of something far bigger than she had imagined. Fudge Fairy Co. was born not only out of a desire to share something meaningful but also as a way to bring people together through the power of comfort food. A Background in Music and Entrepreneurship Jacqueline’s journey to Fudge Fairy Co. is rooted in her background in music and entrepreneurship. Growing up in Florida, she became a drummer and got her start at 14 posting YouTube drum covers that went on to gather millions of views. In 2014, she moved to Nashville to pursue music professionally before transitioning into the startup world, where she gained valuable business experience. Those lessons, and her lifelong creative drive ultimately led her to create Fudge Fairy Co., where she pours her passion for storytelling and connection into every jar. Reinventing a Classic: A Spoonable Twist on Old-Fashioned Fudge Fudge Fairy Co. doesn’t just sell fudge, it redefines it. While many people associate fudge with the dense, crumbly pieces found on holiday tables, Fudge Fairy Co. offers a fresh, modern take on the treat that feels fun, indulgent, and accessible year-round. Unlike traditional fudge that requires cutting into small pieces, Fudge Fairy Co.’s signature product is spoonable, a creamy, luxurious experience that invites you to dig in with a spoon, savoring each bite as it melts in your mouth. It’s fudge like you’ve never experienced before: smooth, rich, and made to be enjoyed from the jar. “People often tell us that even those who don’t usually like fudge end up loving ours,” Jacqueline says. “It’s a modern, fun twist on a nostalgic favorite, and it’s something that can be enjoyed any time of the year, not just around the holidays.” The variety of flavors offered by Fudge Fairy Co. further sets it apart. Whether it’s classic peanut butter, or more adventurous options like s’mores or pumpkin pie, each jar is crafted with care and creativity. Jacqueline’s approach is personal and intentional, ensuring that every flavor evokes joy, nostalgia, and warmth. But the uniqueness of Fudge Fairy Co. doesn’t just come from its products; it comes from the heart behind them. Every jar is made with love, intention, and a sprinkle of something extra special, whether it’s a memory of Jacqueline’s mom or the desire to create a moment of happiness for someone else. Overcoming Challenges and Celebrating the Journey Like any entrepreneurial journey, success came with challenges. Jacqueline had to navigate scaling production while maintaining the quality and care that made Fudge Fairy Co. unique. As demand grew, so did the need for new strategies, production facilities, and marketing. However, Jacqueline’s passion kept her grounded. She didn’t want to lose the personal touch that made her fudge special. Instead, she focused on building a small-batch, women-owned brand dedicated to making every jar with the same care as the first. “We’re not just another sweet brand,” Jacqueline explains. “Fudge Fairy Co. is about building a community and creating something that resonates on a deeper level.” This personal connection sets Fudge Fairy Co. apart in a market dominated by mass-produced sweets. Jacqueline’s story of love, loss, and resilience shines through in every jar. Her customers aren’t just buying fudge; they’re buying into a narrative of healing, comfort, and joy. A Women-Owned Business with Heart Fudge Fairy Co. is not just another business in the food industry; it’s a testament to the power of perseverance, love, and creativity. As a women-owned business, Jacqueline takes pride in running a company that is both grounded in personal values and driven by innovation. The brand’s ability to reinvent a nostalgic classic while maintaining its emotional depth is what makes it truly unique. “Every time we get a message from a customer saying how much our fudge has brightened their day, I know we’re doing something right,” Jacqueline says. “It’s more than just food. It’s a little bit of magic in every jar.” Fudge Fairy Co. stands out not just because of its delicious product but because of the authenticity and heart behind it. In an age where mass-produced, cookie-cutter products dominate the market, Fudge Fairy Co. proves that small-batch, handcrafted goods made with intention still have a place in today’s world.
