As a representative of Best Of Best Reviews, I am honored to present DIBS Mixers with the Best Premium Cocktail Syrup Brand for Home Bartenders in the US of 2025 award. This recognition honors a company that combines deep industry knowledge, craftsmanship, and accessibility to elevate home cocktail experiences across the country.

A Founder’s Vision Turned Reality

DIBS Mixers was born from the passion and expertise of Ohio Crawford, a seasoned spirits educator who spent years touring distilleries across the United States and Mexico. That firsthand exposure to craft distilling opened his eyes to a gap in the cocktail world: the barrier between skill‑intensive, high‑quality syrups and home bartenders seeking great cocktails without the heavy prep. Crawford transformed that insight into a line of syrups designed specifically for home use, ensuring that anyone could craft premium cocktails without needing a professional bar setup.

Craftsmanship and Authenticity in Every Bottle

What sets DIBS Mixers apart is a commitment to authentic, traditional recipes using real sugars, natural spices, and classic syrup‑making techniques. Their Red Fassionola syrup is especially noteworthy. This was once a rare tiki-era ingredient known only to bartenders willing to spend hours preparing it from scratch. By bringing Red Fassionola to retail, DIBS Mixers offers home bartenders access to a nearly lost piece of cocktail history. With this syrup in hand, fans of tiki classics like the Zombie or Hurricane can achieve authenticity previously reserved for high‑end bars. The Spiced and Demerara varieties reinforce that commitment to quality, offering versatility across a wide range of cocktails.

Reliability and Accessibility for Home Enthusiasts

All syrups are crafted in San Antonio, Texas, under controlled conditions that ensure consistency from batch to batch. Distribution spans bars, restaurants, and direct‑to‑consumer channels including Amazon, giving home bartenders nationwide easy access. Whether someone is hosting a small gathering or experimenting with classic cocktails, DIBS Mixers provides a reliable foundation. Their approach stands out because it bridges professional‑grade quality with consumer‑friendly convenience.

A Brand Built on Trust and Purpose

DIBS Mixers is not a faceless flavor lab pushing mass‑market products. Instead the brand is rooted in real expertise and authentic experience. Crawford’s background gives him credibility. The syrups are thoughtfully designed. The production process is transparent. For home bartenders who refuse to compromise on quality yet want simplicity and value, DIBS Mixers delivers. As they say, “Premium cocktails should not require a professional kitchen or hours of prep work. DIBS brings the same quality bartenders batch in‑house to everyone who refuses to compromise on their drinks.” They also emphasize that “Red Fassionola was nearly impossible to find commercially. Bartenders either spent hours making it from scratch or skipped classic tiki cocktails entirely. We brought back an authentic version because these recipes deserve to exist beyond high end cocktail bars.” Their guiding ethos is clear: “I spent years touring distilleries and earning spirits certifications. DIBS came from a simple question: why should quality ingredients only exist behind expensive bar programs? The answer is they should not.”

Why DIBS Mixers is a Cut Above the Rest

In making this decision the award committee looked at multiple criteria. Product quality from a user’s perspective was paramount ,  syrups had to taste authentic and elevate simple mixes into craft‑level cocktails. Expertise behind the brand mattered deeply. Distribution reach ensured accessibility. Ingredient transparency and craftsmanship built trust. Versatility across different cocktail styles and occasions added practical value. Consistency and reliability in production gave confidence to buyers. Value for price compared to mass‑market alternatives or expensive boutique syrups impressed the panel. And finally the ability to fill a market gap ,  specifically offering home bartenders what only high‑end bars once had ,  sealed the decision. DIBS Mixers delivered on all these fronts.

Final Thoughts

If you are a home bartender who refuses to settle for mediocre mixers and you value authenticity, quality, and convenience then DIBS Mixers should be your go‑to choice. By honoring DIBS Mixers with the Best Premium Cocktail Syrup Brand for Home Bartenders in the US of 2025 award, Best Of Best Reviews recognizes not only what they have accomplished so far but also their potential to continue elevating home cocktail culture across the nation.
