Bartending has always been my fantasy job, and these bitters are very flavorful. Be generous with their use when mixing a drink - that allows you to taste their flavors. I made a fresh Margarita and used the Smoked Chili bitters. You could taste both the smoke and a touch of chili. Delicious. The Aromatic variety is excellent as well. Similar to Angostura in a Manhattan, but with a bit more definition. For an Emerald Manhattan, mix Tullamore Dew Irish whiskey with a good quality sweet vermouth like Cinzano, several shakes of the Sweet Orange bitters, and shake until ice cold. Pour into a frozen cocktail glass and add an orange twist. Just excellent. The Citrus adds a different dimension to a Gin and Tonic. Very sophisticated and enjoyable. Experiment with these bitters and enjoy the adventure.
Great deal and a great way to add flexibility and variety to any cocktails that use bitters. The selection is nicely varied and each one really does have a unique flavor and character. One thing to note is that Hella bitters are a bit more mild than Angostura and a lot of other traditional bitters. I find that to be generally a good thing, as it's easier to add subtle notes to cocktails and makes it less likely you will overdo it with the bitters. You may use a bit more than with other brands though. But for anything short of a professional bar this set should last you a good long time.
With I brand name like "hella" i didn't expect much of these bitters, in fact, I purchased them on a lark as a gift to myself. I have been pleasantly surprised. They have completely replaced angostura bitters in my liquor cabinet and a dash of their ginger bitters has become my go-to addition to every martini I make.
I heartily recommend them.
Love it! I use these bitters in almost every cocktail that asks for bitters or even just to elevate a cocktail.
The only reason I gave this a 4 stars rating is that the citrus bitter cap top somehow came off when I first opened it. I just used plastic wrap to cover it though.
I have only tried the ginger flavor as of yet and it was great. I use to have the citrus. It's flavorful as well. Would buy this again. Thanks Hella.

Aromatic Bitters
Our Aromatic bitters have the quintessential aromatic notes of cinnamon, clove and Jamaican allspice with the depth and kick of black peppercorns and caraway. By using both Wormwood and Gentian root the bitter finish is prominent and complex. Winter spice and bitterness cuts through the richest bourbons
Citrus Bitters
We like to call Citrus our full spectrum bitters. Rather than focus on a simple fruit we decide on from as many as 4 types of Citrus peel for this recipe. Full, bright and aromatic its the most versatile bitter weve ever tasted. Perfectly balanced with the exotic notes of cardamom
Smoked Chili Bitters
The smoked chilies we found for this formula are unlike anything weve tasted before. The bitters we crafted with them are satisfyingly spicy, rich, smoky and transportive, adding a know-not-what depth to your cocktails. Truly unique flavor that will get bartenders and chefs innovating
Ginger Bitters
Gingers versatility lends to sweet, savory, spicy and earthy cocktails. Our formula uses both dried and crystallized ginger and lots of real lemon peels. A bitters with the vibrant kick you expect from ginger coupled with the brightness of lemon. Designed to bring intense ginger flavor in only a few dashes
Orange Bitters - ABV 47%
A superior, Orange forward formula relying on the purity and simplicity of real ingredients. No orange extracts here, just real skins. The aromatic spice blend completes this dynamic and full bodied Orange bitters. Like biting into a fresh orange. No fake orange flavoring
Really fast shipping and tasty bitters! As other reviewers said, though, you do have to use a lot more than you do with other bitters, so you'll run out faster. But worth it to be able to try out several from one package!
Great LITTLE set! I've used them all multiple times. The bottles are small but it come with
5 sets of 5 so you can keep them all or use them as stocking stuffers.
Just learning how to use bitters when mixing drinks and this allowed me to sample different flavors for a reasonable price. The flavors are great and I highly recommend trying them.
Have fun with craft cocktails with a good assortment of simple bitters. Not fantastic stuff but it is well produced.
Comprehensive set with great flavors. I have enjoyed experimenting with sparkling water, bourbon, and other drinks. This a great for a novice user of bitters like me!
