  • No allspice dram but still good — ★★★★
  • Made with Old Granddad bonded, and (rather randomly) a dash each of celery and Peychauds bitters. The curacao is the loudest ingredient. Amaro-like bittersweetness on the tail end.
  • Boozy, spicy, punch-like. Allspice adds nuance without taking over. Adding this one to my Christmas cocktail list.
  • Use triple sec

We didn't have 5 x 5 aromatic bitters, so, in a choice between celery & fennel, we chose fennel. The drink is delicious.

  • This has become one of my favorite martini variations, and I make it at home frequently. Especially good with St. George Botanivore Gin. Currently using Bad Dog Bloody Mary Bitters for the celery. — ★★★★★
  • Intriguing drink. I rarely enjoy celery bitters, so I muddled ~1.5" inches celery, + some leaves. Really good! Next time I'd use more celery, & a scant pour of Montenegro. Garnish w/ thin celery stick, tapered so it can spiral like a ribbon at the top! — ★★★★★
  • Muddled half an inch of celery instead of the celery bitters and it gave it a wonderful freshness and strong celery. This is a very good drink made that way.
  • Used Hendricks. Might be worth trying a lighter gin.
  • Made with Prairie gin and rhubarb bitters. Very good! — ★★★★★

Celery notes dominate. A challenging combination of orange, celery, sweet, and a bit of juniper.


Ramazzotti, no bitters - good.
Ramazzotti, fresh celery (muddle) - very good.
Amaro Santoni, fresh celery - exellent! Rhubarb is good here.
Lillet Blanc. Amaro Santoni, fresh celery, 1 ds Angostura - still exellent!

Fork & Knife Flip

1⁄2 oz Beer Syrup (stout)
4 ds Cardamom bitters, Fee Brothers (Boker's style)
1⁄2 oz Cream
Instructions

Dry shake all ingredients, shake with ice, strain into a chilled cocktail coupe

Notes

For the stout beer syrup, simmer and reduce your favorite stout beer to roughly 1/3 of original volume (i.e two bottles adding up to 24 oz would be reduced to 8 oz), stirring occasionally. After reduction, stir in equal parts demerara sugar (i.e. 8 oz), bottle and chill.
