DIY Orange Bitters
Just a drop or two of orange bitters can add the right depth to your cocktail or bridge together ingredients that aren't quite living up to their mixological potential.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of dried orange peel
- 1 teaspoon of cardamom pods
- 1 teaspoon of coriander seeds
- 1 teaspoon of allspice berries
- 1 teaspoon of angelica root
- 1/4 teaspoon of gentian root
- 2 cups of vodka or brandy
- 2 tablespoons of honey or simple syrup
Directions
Zest the oranges using a vegetable peeler and place the peel on the cookie sheet. Bake at 100 degrees until dried but not burned, about 40 minutes. Check regularly to ensure peels have not burned.
