I'm specifically interested in making some cherry bitters to go with Manhattans.

There is also a big bitters thread on egullet http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showtopic=25061&st=100&p=1349352&#entry1349352 Tue Feb 06 07:53:46 -0800 2007 2264197 40841 fafner 1 3019686 I recently made two versions of aromatic bitters, including the Hess House Bitters mentioned by fafner. The recipes and method are pretty long (3 blog postst!) but if you're interested, take a look at http://lastcrumb.com/2007/09/30/homemade-bitters-part-3/ Hope that helps, and good luck!
