Three things to keep in mind:
- Everything in here is fairly sweet. 'Bitters' is a historical term, but these are really not very bitter. For instance, Regan's Orange Bitters are a much more bitter orange flavor (like concentrated peel) than the orange here.
- If you limit yourself to just alcoholic drinks you're cheating yourself. I have a Sodastream, and adding these 'bitters' to the carbonated water tastes fantastic.
- You're not saving a lot on this. At current price, $100/12 = $8.33 per bottle. But if you get the free shipping suddenly it's reasonable. And having the selection is fairly liberating.

Once you have the set of 12 it's time to figure out what to do with them. Your flavors are:
- Fruit: Peach, Lemon, Grapefruit, Cherry, Rhubarb, Cranberry, Orange. Yes, technically rhubarb isn't a fruit.
- Other: Mint, Plum, Old Fashioned, Celery, Aztec Chocolate.

The fruit flavors speak for themselves. If you can't think of a hundred things to do with these (at a minimum, fuzzy navel, or gin + flavor + tonic water) you shouldn't be ordering this in the first place. Imagine concentrated flavor + sweet and you know what you're getting.

The others are more interesting. The mint bitters contribute greatly to a mojito. Celery works fantastic with tomato juice or bloody mary mix. The plum is very cinnamony, and the Old Fashioned is like the plum but with extra heavy spices.

The Aztec Chocolate Bitters are fairly disgusting on their own, but when paired with a good spiced rum like The Kraken are quite amazing, and though I haven't tried it yet I imagine they'd work well with a mole' sauce.

So to summarize - you can't do anything with these on their own, but that would be like drinking the output of a duck press. You are buying a set of 12 flavor enhancers, and this set is great for that. And you only need a few shakes, so each bottle will last for years.

My son in law loves to experiment and make new cocktails for company, I am sure he will have a blast with these unique bitters.

The majority of these bitters are great. I was disappointed in the "mint" bitters which are actually peppermint and taste more like a strong peppermint extract than a bitter. Saddly they made my mint julip taste like mouthwash; however, they would probably taste great in a hot chocolate.

Having this level of variety is fantastic. It's frustrating when cocktails call for a type of bitter that you don't have...or you want to experiment & don't have the "right" complement on hand. Finding this level of variety is VERY difficult to come by in a retail setting. The price to purchase all 12 at one clip was extremely competitive vs buying them all individually. That being said, check out what is included in the set and weigh those that you'll use vs those you won't. It may just be more cost effective to purchase a smaller amount individually. I ended up purchasing other varieties -- yes, there are way more than 12 varieties of Fee -- in addition to this set, to round out the collection.

The bitters are the bomb. One of them came in broken but they replaced it. Thank you Janitor Supply Company. My thanks
