heres a recipe for orange bitters i pulled out of a magazine

preheat oven to 175, scrub 4 seville oranges and remove peel.

cut peel into 1/4 inch pieces, place on baking sheet throw in oven turning occasionally, until dry ~2hrs then let cool

put orange peels, 2 whole cloves, 2 coriander seeds, 1 allspice, 1 cardamom pod and 1 pint 90 proof vodka into a jar. secure and store in a dark place for 3 weeks, shaking occasionally.

strain vodka into another clean jar, reserve peels. add peel and spices to a pan with 1 cup water, bring to boil reduce to simmer for 15 minutes. set aside, covered for 24 hours. then strain into the vodka, strain this mixture 4-5 times.

i usually just drink gin or cheap beer, so nfw im taking the time to try this. but its there just in case anyone gets really fanatical about their liquor.
