Excellent and simple cocktail, just enough complexity from the celery bitters to pair with the anise herbal of goldwasser.

  • Light, sour, and refreshing. Requires an interesting gin. — ★★★★★

Not a bad drink, I love the flavor. It is very simple, not much depth and is not very strong. Its more like drinking juice. I feel that it is missing something... I think next time I make it I'll add some cranberry juice for some bitter/sour to try and even things out. Overall, as it stands now, I would rate it a 3/5

Sometimes I see recipes that look exciting on paper but end up muddled or boring in the glass. Not so here. This is a great aperitif that straddles the line between wild and elegant flavors beautifully, with each ingredient playing off every other in turn. Don't skip the orange flower water float/garnish; it does a lot to tie the drink together. Recommended.

K23 commented on 8/15/2015:

We used Gran Gala in place of Patron Citronge and it was delicious.

I thought this was going to be a tad too light on cognac, but it actually ended up being very well balanced. I used Dry Curacao for the orange liqueur.
