DIY ORANGE BITTERS RECIPE
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. Deep, citrusy, spicy, complex orange bitters are an essential part of so many balanced cocktails. The beauty of DIY bitters is unleashing your creativity and crafting bitters that you can't find anywhere else. I emphasized anise, but you could just as easily play up the cloves or add cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, or ginger for a whole new flavor profile.

Steps:
- Zest oranges using a vegetable peeler and place peel on a cookie sheet. Bake at 100°F (40°C) until dried but not burned, about 40 minutes. Check regularly to ensure peels have not burned.
- Once zests are cool, place them in a sealable glass jar with 1/2 cup of 151 neutral grain spirit. Be sure this jar is large enough to later hold an additional 1 cup of liquid. Shake. This is your orange flavoring.
- Place caraway seeds, cloves, star anise, and anise seeds in a different sealable glass jar with 1/2 cup of 151 neutral grain spirit. Shake. This is your spice mix.
- Place gentian root and quassia chips in a sealable glass jar with bourbon. Shake. This is your bittering mix.
- After 10 days, strain the spice mix and bittering mix through a fine-mesh sieve to remove the solids. Strain again through a coffee filter into the orange flavoring jar. Do not remove the orange zest. Shake. You now have one jar that contains the strained spice mix and bittering mix along with the steeping orange zest and alcohol. Let this steep for an additional 11 days.
- Strain out orange zest through a fine-mesh sieve, and then strain the rest through a coffee filter into your desired container.

ORANGE BITTERS
From Sunset 12/12 issue. I love orange bitters, but did not think you could really make it yourself. I have not tried this yet, but am looking forward to trying. This will keep up to one year refrigerated.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250 deg F. Remove zest from oranges with a vegetable peeler. (Use oranges for some other purpose). Bake until zest dries, starts to curl up and begins to brown, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool.
- Put all ingredients except sugar in a 1 quart glass jar and seal tightly. Let sit in a cool, dark place for two weeks.
- Strain liquid into a 1 1/2 to 2 quart jar, saving the flavorings. Set aside.
- Put flavorings in a small saucepan with 2 cups water. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Cook sugar in a small saucepan, lifting and shaking the pan occasionally, until the sugar caramelizes and turns deep amber, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Pour the caramel into the liquid in the saucepan - it will bubble furiously and may firm up. If necessary, return to medium heat and cook, stirring, for a few minutes until the caramel melts.
- Set pan in a bowl of ice water until the liquid is cold, about 10 minutes.
- Pour this liquid into the jar with the first liquid (from step 3). Seal and let stand in a cool, dark place for five days.
- Strain this final mixture through cheesecloth into a glass measuring cup and discard the flavorings.
- Pour into small bottles and seal tightly.
