ABIDING CITIZEN
“We are regular people who wanted to serve
our friends great drinks ...”
Abiding Citizen, Manitoba made bitters, shrubs and syrups, helping you make a better beverage.
Every drink should taste delicious. We are regular people who wanted to serve our friends great drinks when they came to visit. We fell in love with bitters and shrubs for their versatility, ease of use and fantastic taste. Perfectly balanced sweet and tart flavours in our small batch shrub combine together to provide a delightful treat able to be enjoyed by all. Bitters add complexity to cocktails and give each drink that special je ne sais quoi. Inspired by Prohibition, refined by modern times, Abiding Citizen helps everyone build a better beverage.

Chad and Teri-Lynn Friesen are two law-abiding citizens: by day, Chad works as a realtor and Teri-Lynn runs an ice cream shop. By night, they pursue their love for delicious food, tasty drinks, and good art. It all started with making experimental drinks for their friends, but has since become a passion project for the pair as they craft versatile syrups, bitters, and concentrates for the wider public. Inspired by the prohibition, but made for modern times, these cocktail complements make the art of mixology accessible to all.
