Buddha’s hand

 

This is a picture of a Buddha’s hand citrus fruit.

 

Give a woman a cocktail and she sips for 20 minutes.

Give her a half gallon of Buddha’s hand bitters and she…. makes cocktails for a lifetime?

My coworker, Joanne Lucero, gave me this half gallon jar of  homemade Buddha’s hand bitters – she even grew the Buddha’s hand herself! When I make this drink, I add these bitters – and at a few drops per cocktails, I will be using them… for a very long time.

Thanks Joanne!
