Critter Bitters, made with toasted crickets, was released earlier this year following a successful crowdsourcing campaign. The product was created to introduce people to the idea of crickets as an alternative protein source. Here, the producers say, crickets add a sweet, nutty note to drinks. Used in the signature cocktail at “urban tiki bar” Dromedary, adventurous visitors can also pair the insect-laced cocktail with snacks like deviled eggs topped with crunchy, salty roasted crickets.
