Someone mentioned making bitters in a recent thread, which I would like to try.
While googling it, I came across this book that I think sounds pretty interesting.
I have that book. It’s cool and fun to read.
I have it as well. Good read.
The bitters book is EXCELLENT.
If you mean this bitters book: Amazon.com
I concur. Good recipes for bitters and things to make with them, drinks and food.
Anyone want to share some bitters recipes?
Oddly, these days I have a ton of bitters, but no Angostura. Right now, I’m using Scrappy’s as my replacement.
Yes, but I’m busy and they are hand written. I will try to post a couple in the next few days. Just wanted you to know they are coming and you aren’t being ignored.
Take a picture and post it.
Sorry, the two original recipes I have might be lost.
And if it’s that one, I just got it yesterday. Any favorite bitters recipes from it?
I made Grapefruit Hops Bitters based on the grapefruit bitters recipe in that book. That was one recipe I am looking for. I probably doubled the hops and used homegrown cascade hops. I also think I altered the bitter hers use, there might not have been gentian root. My girlfriend keeps a lot of herbs/ roots etc. around for medicinal use so we experimented a bit. I like adding the grapefruit hops bitters to gin and tonics or just soda water. I messed around with a drink that had , gin, those bitters, soda water, and malt extract.We also made apple bitters from that book that were good. The favorite bitters we made that I will post when I dig it up is one we came up with with hickory nuts that I smoked. It’s great with whiskey drinks.
