11279 Sunshine Bitters Under 5 mins, plus infusing time Under 5 mins 1 cup Tue Dec 04 16:06:00 -0800 2007 Tue Aug 25 12:11:50 -0700 2009 Easy CHOW http://www.chow.com/recipes/11279 Tue, 25 Aug 2009 19:11:50 GMT Good (bitter) morning! Vodka is infused with cardamom and saffron for bitters with a fabulous aroma and a bright burnt-sienna hue. 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.

Game plan: These bitters can keep indefinitely.
