Best for: The hopeless home bartender
Aromatic bitters make a superb stocking stuffer for amateur bartenders—especially very amateur bartenders, the ones with all those gorgeous metal gadgets who have never attempted anything more fancy than a vodka gimlet.
As Zane Harris of Rob Roy recently pointed out while teaching Drinking Lessons at the Sorrento, a true cocktail must always contain: water, a spirit, bitters, and sugar. Tell your home tender as much, as you offer him/her a bottle of Fee Brothers Old Fashioned Aromatic Bitters, available for $6.49 at DeLaurenti, and tell him/her to add one dash to what he/she is currently calling a “Manhattan” or a “champagne cocktail.” You’re going to rock his/her world, and you’ll have spent less than seven dollars.
