Bitters Making Kit
NEW Free Shipping Exclusive Internet Only-
Bitters are an essential ingredient for converting cocktails from workaday to wonderful, adding complexity and depth of flavor. We’ve partnered with New York artisan distillery Dutch’s Spirits to create this kit that includes everything you need to make two types of craft bitters at home. Just follow the directions and in 15 days you’ll be rewarded with an aromatic infusion to enhance your own cocktails. You can also use the tools and your creativity to branch out and make endless variations.
- Kit includes premeasured botanicals for making Aromatic and Citrus bitters.
- Easy to use: Simply fill the infuser ball with the premeasured botanicals, place it the airtight swing-top glass jar, cover with vodka (not included) and seal for 10 days, swirling vigorously every day. On day 11, add bittering agent and seal for 2 more days, swirling vigorously every day. Remove infuser and you are ready to bottle your own bitters.
- Included bottles with droppers are ideal for dispensing small quantities of your homemade bitters for cocktails and other beverages.
