Get creative this Christmas with The Bitter Truths cocktail flavouring kit. This unique collection of premium cocktail bitters is the perfect gift for a cocktail connoisseur or a complete novice, they couldn't be easier to use. They're perfect for adding that je ne sais quoi  to well loved cocktails, add a few dashes to give your cocktail an intense injection of flavour, or boost the flavour of your G&T or Bloody Mary simply by adding a dash of Celery Bitters.

Taste wise there is something to please every palate, as the range includes Orange, Aromatic, Creole and the award winning Jerry Thomas and Celery Bitters.  Made with the finest of ingredients and currently the best kept secret in the bartender's world, these wonderful premium bitters are perfect for Christmas. They now come in super handy 20 ml bottles, and are presented in a collector's item tin box, so you can take the party with you this festive season.

They are a must-have item for all cocktail lovers looking for an innovative addition to their home bar. But be warned, they carry a potent injection of flavour with a license to thrill!

Here's our simple suggestions to get you started:

Celery Bitters: The first celery bitters to be commercially produced in decades. Just a few drops to add complexity to your bloody Mary!

Old Time Aromatic Bitters: Classically bitter and tangy. Combining the aromatics of cinnamon, cardamom, anise and cloves, it reminds one of gingerbread.  Drink in a champagne cocktail, dousing the bitters onto a sugar cube before adding cognac and topping with champagne.

Orange Bitters: The aroma of bitter orange peel is in the foreground, complimented by the spicy flavours of cardamom, caraway and nutmeg. Try making an Americano at home mixing sweet vermouth and Campari and lengthening with soda, add a few dashes of orange bitters, ice and a fresh slice of orange, stir and enjoy!

RRP: £20 5 x 20ml
