With notes of white pepper, shelled walnuts, cacao nibs and more, black walnut bitters make for a rich pairing to your favorite late-night drinks.
12 Ounces shelled walnuts
16 Ounces 80-100 proof vodka
1 Teaspoon cacao nibs
1/2 Teaspoon allspice
8 Whole cloves
1/4 Ounces dried black walnut leaves
1/4 Ounces black walnut hull
1/2 Teaspoon white pepper
Keep in a jar in a cool place out of the sun and shake it once a day for two weeks, opening and tasting and sniffing it periodically. The color should become a rich coffee umber. At the end of two weeks, let the contents drip through a filter into a Chemex and then funnel it into a glass jar with a dropper.
