Cel Rey
Mezcal shines in this dry, savoury, refreshing, long, effervescent cocktail

There's a lot about this cocktail that hits home. I live not far from that restaurant. Months ago, by recommendation from a liquor store near there, I bought Rey Campero. And I've long been a fan of the Cel Ray soda. Serendipitous as all this sounds, the drink fell a bit flat for me. Maybe not acidic/citrusy enough?? I'll play with the specs.

Just made this drink. Really enjoyed it. Not sure it’s a 5 star though.

Much appreciate the feedback, Lee. I've downgraded to a 4.5.

Looks like you can make your own celery soda https://food52.com/recipes/16516-celery-soda

Well Simon, I’ve searched for the Celery Soda and it’s going to cost me £7 for two cans with the postage!!’ 😂😂😂

I went for it with a six-pack but well worth the expense. Not many years ago you had to go to Greece to buy pink grapefruit soda for a Paloma - then we shipped the first 3 pallets of Three Cents into the UK. Perhaps celery soda next!

Here’s a good overview of the history of celery soda. It will cost me $17 for 6. Seems like fun though. https://www.seriouseats.com/dr-browns-cel-ray-celery-soda-history
