The senility may be kicking in at my age but I'm sure this used to be a 5+ cocktail. Though to achieve that rating one needs to follow the Meyer spec, to the letter. Any other suggestions for the Celery Gin?
Sherry, Chartreuse and Chili whats not to like. Delicious.
Add a dash to a 4:1 vodka martini, preferably made with Dolin for an Arpitan Martini, garnished with an olive for a deliciously savoury aperitif. I stir but shake if you wish.
One of my favourite cocktails which I thouught would be difficult to improve on. Taylor's Velvet is good but Difford's/Bob's is better. Tonight I subbed Raicilla for Tequila and damn i know have to start rating with six stars! All hyperbole aside, Tequila fans, get some Raicilla in your drinks cabinet, you won't regret it.
