Chef's Notes
Bitters are alchemy in a bottle! Do not rush the steeping process, as the alcohol needs every single day to break down the heavy compounds in the roots and barks.
Pro Tip
Use the absolute highest proof bourbon you can legally buy. Higher alcohol content acts as a superior solvent to extract maximum flavor from your botanicals.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Using cheap, low-proof vodka or whiskey instead of high-proof bourbon, leaving you with a moldy, weak, swamp-water infusion that tastes like wet cardboard.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
Our Royal Jester says: 'Why settle for a plain drink when you can spend two weeks shaking a jar like a frantic medieval alchemist?'
The Culinary Science
High-proof ethanol acts as a powerful polar and non-polar solvent, extracting both water-soluble and oil-soluble flavor compounds from roots and spices that water alone could never touch.

Beverage Integrity Protocol
Storage Science
Store in a tightly sealed glass container in the refrigerator to prevent the absorption of ambient odors. Consume within 2-3 days. If it contains dairy, consume within 48 hours.
Reheating Science
If this is a hot beverage, reheat gently on the stovetop without bringing it to a rolling boil, which can scorch sugars and scald dairy proteins.
