This past week, we finished the final phase of our attempt at making bitters by taking what we ended up with at the end of last phase, letting it sit for a week and straining it through cheesecloth one final time before bottling and labeling them. I’ve got to say, I think they taste pretty damn good! They may lack a bit of the intensity of some other bitters and require a few more drops than I’m used to, but we’re both really happy with how they turned out.<\/p>\n

We didn’t make much, but we did make more than we will be able to use, so we thought it might be nice to give away a bottle or two to people that would enjoy them as much as we do. Names and flavor profiles are:<\/p>\n

Autumn Spice Bitters<\/strong>
\nHeavy on the bourbon, clove and cinnamon, there’s
\nsome coriander, cardamom and apple in there as well.<\/p>\n

Shoofly Bitters<\/strong>
\nBlackstrap molasses, cinnamon and garam masala
\nwith a hint of rum and fruit.<\/p>\n

Leave a comment with how you’d try mixing them up, and we’ll pick a couple we like and send them a bottle to take for a test drive.<\/p>\n
