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.
