Critter Bitters: Cocktail bitters made with toasted crickets

Created by Trouble Makers (Julia Plevin and Lucy Knops)

Drinking cocktails won't save the world, but eating insects might. Critter Bitters take the 'ick' factor out of eating insects.

Trick or Treat?!

We've got a little secret to share. What's our favorite Halloween drink? It's not green and it doesn't have smoked ice.... It's bitters and soda!

After a night of too much candy or too much booze, our go-to is a tall glass of soda with a few heavy drops of bitters. Squeeze a lemon in there if you have one on hand. Down this before bed and you'll thank us. Another glass in the morning will help revive you!

Thank you so much for backing us! Now we need your help: Please spread the good word about Critter Bitters. We've passed the 60% mark but we've got to keep the momentum up. We made it easy to SHARE with these links:
