This recipe appears in The Nomad Cocktail Book by Leo Robitschek. Flash-infusing bitters with golden raisins adds dried-fruit richness that echoes similar notes found in amontillado sherry and honey syrup.

Editor's Note
Raisin-Infused Angostura Bitters:
In a large bowl, combine 1 750 milliliter bottle Angostura bitters with 260 grams (about 1 ¾ cups) golden raisins. Allow to sit for an hour, then strain through a chinois. Gently push down on the raisins to ensure you get all the remaining infusion out of the raisins. Discard the raisins; store the bitters indefinitely at room temperature.
