  • 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! — ★★★★★

Kindred Cocktails commented on 1/10/2019:

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

Artur B commented on 1/26/2024:

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!

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.

  • Perhaps fat 3/4 oz Beefeater gin and/or skinny 3/4 oz Meletti to make it a little less sweet. A great cocktail.
  • I'm a sucka for anything with Meletti. Made with Knob Creek 100
  • I got coconut Life Saver from this. Cinnamon emerges pretty strongly too. For the concern about sweetness, this works on the rocks too.

  • Not for the faint of heart. Amazed I had all the ingredients at the same time. Unique, but hard to love. I added a pinch of salt which helped. Lemon also worked well. UPDATE: It grows on you as you work your way down.
