Hella Cocktail Co. Smoked Chili Bitters, 5 oz.

Smoked chili bitters might not seem like a home bar essential, but wait until you try these from Hella BItters. A dash in a margarita, or a martini, or even a simple vodka soda will liven up any evening. They're smoky and spicy but not overwhelming, so you'll still be able to taste the cocktail you've made, but there's a hint of something mysterious. Made locally, we think Hella Bitters are some of the best cocktail bitters on the market. This is a 5 ounce bottle.
