Okay, it's Cocktail Friday time, so you look in the Fridge and see a crop of celery and a half drunk bottle of apple juice. You go to the Difford's site and realise you can make this!!! What a great cocktail. Mr H have it 10/10! The celery is subtle and salty the crème de cacao is sweet and balances the other ingredients perfectly! Très bien!

Absolutely concur with your review. The ingredients list may raise eyebrows, but the drink when made is really delicious, with the celery still contributing, but just adding a slightly vegetal, savoury earthiness which pairs well with everything. I do wonder if a walnut liqueur version will be even better, though where I am at, I cannot find any.

Very nice, surprisingly balanced but just a tiny bit too sweet for me, back off of the simple syrup.
