Fletcher Christian

Bill at Okay, Check It Out uses the celery bitters in a drink called the Fletcher Christian:

The Fletcher Christian

1 oz The Bitter Truth Celery Bitters
3/4 oz St Germain elderflower liqueur
3/4 oz lemon juice
3/4 oz Boomsma Oude genever
3-4 drops Elixir Vegetal (sub Green Chartreuse or omit)

He says, “Trust me.  Just trust me.  I realize this is a very nichey cocktail because four of the five ingredients are things you can’t buy most places and that only cocktailheads have in their bar already.  But this is a terrific drink.”

We Plead the 21st

Dinah and Joe over at Bibulo.us had a chance to try the Creole Bitters and give them a glowing review:

“This tribute to the spice and complexity of Creole culture is beautifully crafted with vibrant color and fantastic taste. These are a well-balanced bitters which fill an important void in the landscape: sweet red spice with significant complexity on the tongue evoking fennel and flowers.”
