Nigerians have always known how to elevate a good drink, but recently the conversation around Orijin Bitters has taken on a new life. It all started at Lagos Cocktail Week, where mixologists experimented with bold blends that showed just how versatile Orijin can be. Guests loved it, influencers hyped it, and now everyone wants their own Orijin mix.
But LCW was just the beginning.
Here’s how the mix wave started, and where it’s going next.
The mixologists at LCW unlocked a new side of Orijin
At LCW, Orijin gave bartenders the freedom to play around with recipes, and the results spoke for themselves. From fruity blends to herb-forward twists, the mixologists stepped forward with proof that the flavour profiles that can be built on Orijin Bitters are limitless.
The special cocktails became instant audience favourites
And we can confidently say this. Because the rate at which people kept going back for the Orijin Sunrise, Orijin Mule, Orijin Gold, and the Orijin Melon Smash was wild. Each one had its own vibe, but retained that unmistakable Orijin signature people just couldn’t get enough of.
Don’t take our word for it. Listen to the following influencers spazzing over the cocktails.

Oyinademii said it best: “The cocktail was so good, you could taste Orijin’s signature in every sip!”
And that excitement is what inspired the Mix With Orijin series
After seeing how quickly people embraced the idea of mixing Orijin, the brand created Mix With Orijin, a YouTube series that takes the experimentation even further, showing new recipes, fun twists and unexpected pairings that anyone can try at home.
Hosted by Basketmouth and Lara, the series explores modern, playful ways to enjoy Orijin Bitters in everyday settings.
Whether you’re hosting friends, stepping out for the night or just chilling at home, the mixes in this series show that Orijin can adapt to any mood.
And now it’s your turn to get mixing!
Orijin wants Nigerians to feel free to experiment. Try a mix, personalise it, then show it off.
