Celery Gimlet

Anyone who has ever been handed this cocktail loves it. It has always been a house staple.

The origins of this cocktail are kindly interesting. We made it and served them up at the bar at my wedding once upon a time ago. That and Passionfruit Rickey’s (another winner). Can’t say that everything worked out with the wedding, but this cocktail is still a great one. 😅 Everyone loved it. Everyone has always loved it. Even if someone doesn’t like gin. They for some reason really like this drink. Guaranteed winner. So, I need not say more about it other than it’s excellent. So, I’m sharing it.

Celery Gimlet

2 oz Gin (Hendricks is probably what I used originally. But I love Castle and Key Dry Gin)

1.25 oz Lime Juice

1 oz simple syrup

3-4 dashes celery bitters (I use Fee’s)

Shake with ice
