Come September, there'll be a new bitters in town. From legendary barman Dale DeGroff and chemist Ted Breaux comes Dale DeGroff's Pimento Aromatic Bitters, a revival of a style of bitters that had all about disappeared  by the latter 20th century. It's produced at the venerable Combier distillery in Saumur, France, and is made with Pimento berries, a hint of anise and other Allspice berries. And, man, is it ever delicious. You can preorder a 150 ml bottle now at www.PimentoAromaticBitters.com for just $9.99. Special Collector's Edition 250 ml Professional Bottles are available too for $18.82. Those are handsome antique bottles with dripper spouts signed in gold ink by the man himself. When your bitters arrive, get out the bar tools and whip up a few of these cocktails, recipes courtesy of Dale:

MORNING GLORY (Chicago style)
Stir well with lots of ice:
1 ounce (30ml) Martell VSOP Cognac]
1 ounce (30ml) Sazerac Straight Rye Whiskey
1 tsp rich simple syrup (two sugar to one water)
1 teaspoon Grand Marnier
1 dash (1/4 teaspoon) absinthe
2 dashes Dale DeGroff Pimento Bitters

Strain into chilled cocktail glass, add a healthy splash of brut champagne and twist a swatch of thin-cut lemon peel over the top.
