Tips & Tricks: When infusing dried fruits in spirits, you can play with the proportions to suit your taste. For me, a rule of thumb is to start with ½ part to 1 part, fruit to the spirit, and shake the jar a few times a day. If you’re looking for a richer flavor, you can always add some more fruit and let sit longer. The “Autumn Bitters” can also be personalized a bit. I always liked to combine different bitters and create unique combinations. There are so many great commercial brands out there that make creating your bitters easier and more cost-effective for the bar. Again, using a ½ part each as a starting point, you can change the proportions to create your flavors and give a classic or original recipe just a little twist!
