Bitters and Simple Syrups. Shot with my Android using the Camera 360 App.

A few weeks back, we had this idea to make our own bitters. Bitters have been around for a while and are a common ingredient in many popular drinks. You can read about them here. Tonight a bunch of friends got together at our place to taste the bitters and simple syrups we made. There were some fun mixes as you can see.

The great thing about bitters is that you can also cook with them, and the simple syrups can be used to make unique sodas. For example, the Cilantro, Parsley & Lemon syrup mixed with soda water made me think of Summer. I made the Cherry Vanilla bitters. The Habanero bitters and syrups were great mixed with tequila!

Anyone can make these. They are very easy and you’re only limited by your imagination.
