Great site guys. Got the link from Josh Loving at FINO Austin. One question: Can someone post the amount of time(s) different spices/herbs take to "mature" or leach out their goodness. Is there any risk in marinading too long? I'd imagine something like citrus can go from a lovely citrus flavor to too "pithy" in a given time. Cheers. Heyo. Great site guys.

Are you buying new bottles or using old ones? I'd like to use bottles like those of Angostura and Peychards, but I don't want to dump out the ingredients to do so.

Wed, 13 Apr 2011 07:08:15 +0000 http://drinkdogma.com/how-to-make-your-own-bitters-for-cocktails/#comment-4848 Thanks for all the good guidelines, I was searching for artichoke bitters since they are in season March- June. I have been infusing fresh local California herbs since 2010. I've used Everclear and 80% vodka infusing fresh; sage, thyme, oregano, marjoram, basil, chamomile, mint, lemon rind, orange rind, and ginger. As the seasons progress i'll add new herbs to my shelf. I love bitters, digestives, and limoncello but don't like how much sugar is always added, and want to know the ingredients, so I decided to make my own. I'm also experimenting with tinctures like oregano and rosemary as a cold remedies. All of this came out of my brewing Kombucha. During the second stage bottling I found I was using quite a few herbs and fruits so decided to explore alcohol infusions a bit further. Really great.

We ended up using them to create several flavored bitters by blending the infusions by taste as needed for each specific type of bitters. The best bitters that we made were a pecan bitters, which we then barrel-aged and a house orange bitters. We are always making different types of bitters nowadays at Anvil. Feel free to stop in and try them. I will be posting about the next batch I come up with; I just don't know what that is at this point.

I've started some of my own bitters. unfortunately i'm just too proud of my choices in herbs to declare them publicly (yet... the day will come). keep up the good work. i'd love to visit your bar when i next find myself in your section of earth. awesome stuff guys. i’d love to see how they turned out (well, actually i’d love to taste and smell how they turned out but it’s the internet and texas is far away from los angeles).
