Step 1: Ingredients

1/4 tsp. cacao nibs
2 cinnamon sticks
1 star anise pod
1/2 tsp. cloves
1/4 tsp. allspice
1 tbsp. cardamom
2 tbsp. coffee beans, cracked
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cup vodka
1/4 cup 101 proof bourbon

Step 2: Steep

Combine all of the ingredients in a mason jar, adding the liquor last. Steep for at least a month, longer if you like. To steep, put them in a place out of direct light. It will be very hard to wait, but the end result is worth it.

Step 3: Bottle and Enjoy!

After the steeping time, you just strain and bottle up the bitters. You can even use personalized labels, like I did. Now you can enjoy them in your favorite cocktails!
