Orange bitters are a common citrus addition to a variety of cocktails. The orange flavor combined with caraway seeds and gentian roots will add a refreshing taste to any drink!
1 Cup Everclear or other 100 proof grain liquor
Zest of 3-4 oranges
1/2 Teaspoon caraway seeds
1 Teaspoon gentian root
1/2 Teaspoon cloves
1 Star anise
1/2 Teaspoon anise seed
Split the Everclear into two different infusion jars. Place the orange zest into one, and the spices and root into the other. Keep the orange bottled for two to three days and the other ingredients bottled for four to six. Check the scent strength every day or so, then filter ingredients out when they’re ready. Combine both liquids in one dropper bottle to complete your orange bitters.
