Bitter Truth's new "Cocktail Bitters Travelers Set" serves as a great sampler of the brands' verite approach to bitters, too-for a novice it's a great introduction, for a pro it's an insanely useful, highly toolkit. You can take them on the plane--the 20 ml bottle they are well below the 3 oz. cut off, yet still contain enough bitters to shake up more than enough cocktails to keep the VIP lounge swinging. There are five pet set: Creole, Orange, Old Time Aromatic, Celery (with which you can make a Perfect Louis) and the collaboration, Bitterman's Xocolatl Mole Bitters (with which you can make the Y Tu Mole Tambien a.k.a. Tarnished Halo). Available now in Europe, they'll starting becoming available in the States in September. And retailing for around $20 USD. Quite possibly the greatest cocktail related stocking stuffer of all time.
