Coffee Bitters

By Jacob Grier, from the Jacob Grier collection

Serves

Introduction

Bartender Lance Mayhew and I collaborated on this recipe, which we enjoy in an Old Fashioned with an aged English-style rum.

Ingredients

	375	ml 151-proof rum
	~	Peel from one medium-sized orange
	12	g coffee, coarsely ground with a mortar and pestle
	~	Slightly more than 1 gram dried orris root, chopped
	½	star anise

Steps

Combine all the ingredients in a jar and let steep, tasting daily to check on their progress; four days to a week will probably be enough time.
Decant through a fine-mesh strainer and transfer to a bitters bottle.
