Making your own cocktail bitters is simple, inexpensive, and allows you to get creative. In this episode, I make lavender bitters from scratch. Don't worry, the rift in space-time is optional. Recipe is below:
_________
✓ 200 ml Neutral Spirit (Everclear, high-proof vodka)
✓ 1/4 teaspoon of Gentian Root (amzn.to/3qzoYd9)
✓ 1 big ol' heaping tablespoon dried lavender (amzn.to/3GEiEXo)
✓ 1/2 teaspoon of dried mango (amzn.to/33n6tjs)
✓ 1/4 teaspoon of coriander seeds (amzn.to/3rqZvBZ)
✓ 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
✓ 50 ml water
✓ 3 butterfly pea flowers for colour (amzn.to/351vRM3)
Mix these ingredients all up in a sealed container and leave it alone, aside from giving it a shake or two every day to let the alcohol work to pull the flavours out of your mix. After two weeks, you'll be ready to strain it and use it in your cocktails. Told you it was easy!
