        One spruce tip infusion, three cocktail ingredients, and one of the best Negroni variations I've ever made, all inspired by a single foraging trip to the forest. Today I'll show you how to turn spruce tips into a versatile base that can be transformed into a vermouth, a syrup, and a liqueur in just minutes. But what’s even better is that you can use the same approach to capture the essence of any seasonal ingredient, even long after the season is over. Once you understand this approach, the possibilities are endless, and I'll show you how to bring everything together by making the Forest Negroni Bianco - a white Negroni twist that just might change how you think about seasonal cocktails. So let’s discover what this technique is all about. It's Cocktail Time!

💧 Wormwood Tincture
● 3g Wormwood
● 75mL · 2.5oz 100 Proof Vodka

💧 Gentian Tincture
● 3g Gentian
● 75mL · 2.5oz 100 Proof Vodka

Place the wormwood and vodka into a sous vide bag and the gentian and vodka into another one, seal them, then infuse in a sous vide bath set to 60°C (140°F) for 3 hours. Once done, take out the bags and leave them to cool to room temperature before cutting them open and straining the bittering agents out. Bottle and label them both in a dasher bottle.
