it's ok to be bitter
“What do I do with [insert unusual Green Aisle product here]” is a question we’re often posed by our lovely customers. In this recurring blog feature, we tell you what up with all our weird edibles.
With our stock of Fee Bros. bitters recently replenished, we’ve had people asking what cocktails play nice with celery bitters, a new Fees flavor. For this, we defer to the expert: Colin Shearn, barkeep of our favorite subterranean speakeasy-without-the-snobbery, Franklin Mortgage & Investment Co. After the jump, Colin divulges the formula for the only Restraining Order you’ll want to receive.
Restraining Order
1.5 oz. Reposado Tequila “This drink was built for Siembra Azul. Herradura is ok. Anything else will prolly suck. But what do I know?”
.75 oz. Aperol
3-5 dashes Celery Bitters, or to taste
Stir for 15-20 seconds. “Strain into glass over fresh ice. If you want to get crazy you can freeze large blocks and cut a ‘rock’ from that. That’s how we do at The Franklin.”
Garnish with large orange twist.
