Ingredients

Pound cardamom pods lightly with a rolling pin or the bottom of a pan to break up slightly. Place in vodka and let infuse for 5 days.

Strain out cardamom and add saffron; let infuse for 1 day more and then strain.

Notes

San Francisco neighborhood joint Nopa has garnered a lot of attention for its tasty, straightforward food, but its drinks are what keep us coming back. These bitters are made in-house at the restaurant and used in the aptly named Girasol cocktail.

Game plan: These bitters can keep indefinitely.
