CRITTER BITTERS

Normalizing Entomophagy Though Cocktails

As the UN FAO Report states, it's important to overcome "the disgust

factor" if people are ever going to eat insects

in western cultures.

People seek out interesting cocktail

concoctions and are more open-minded

when holding a drink in hand.

Distillation, fermentation, and

mixology are among the most experimental and

creative industries.
