Queen Street Cocktail
Daiquiri-like, delicately sour and, helped by the garnish, wonderfully aromatic

An enigmatic drink, in the best possible way. We went with cane syrup and pulled it back to 15ml. Likewise the celery bitters, we dialled down to two dashes...maybe one might have been enough...perhaps it's just us but a little bit of celery bitters goes a long, long way.

btw if anyone can explain the spritz garnish we'd be grateful. We just added to the mix a gentle dash of peated Islay.

I know this response is quite a bit late, but I use a small atomizer spray bottle for the spritz (I keep these bottles on hand for absinthe, Laphroaig and orange blossom water).
