Grapefruit Bitters

Ingredients

• 3 grapefruits
• ½ bunch fresh thyme
• 2" knob fresh ginger
• 1 cup cranberries
• 4 pumps Amoretti® Vanilla Bean Craft Purée
• 3 pumps Amoretti® Tangelo Craft Purée
• 3 pumps Amoretti® Anise Syrup
• 1 tbsp whole peppercorns
• 3½ cups vodka
• ¼ cup water

• half gallon jar
• small bottles with dropper lids
• patience

Directions

1. Cut the skin and pith off the grapefruits. Some of the flesh of the fruit is encouraged, it will give more flavor to the final product.
2. Put the grapefruit skin, thyme, ginger, cranberries, Vanilla Bean and Tangelo Craft Purees, Anise Syrup, peppercorns, vodka, and water into the jar. Put the lid on tight and shake the jar a lot.
3. Store in a cool, dry place and shake every other day. Store for 4 to 6 weeks before tasting.
4. Test by putting a teaspoon into an 8 fluid ounce drink that would complement the grapefruit flavor profile. If it is lacking flavor, store for another couple of weeks.
5. Once ready, strain into smaller bottles.
