Infusions, Bitters, Tinctures & Syrups


Today I made various concoctions for use in cocktails and other mixed drinks. Unless linked, and recipes were my own guesstimations, except the Pineapple syrup, described in David Wondrich's Imbibe!

In the fridge, I already had:
  • Demerara 1:1 simple syrup
  • Grenadine (POM & Sugar, 1:1)
  • Pineapple syrup
In the past day or so, I made:
  • Ginger syrup
  • Chamomile syrup
  • Pepper infused Vodka
  • Cinnamon tincture (cinnamon sticks in Applejack 100 proof)
  • Sunshine bitters (from NOPA in San Francisco)
  • Grapefruit bitters
  • Earl Grey infused gin
  • Allspice syrup (hopefully an OK replacement for dram, until I pick it up)
