What Is Celery Bitters?
Celery bitters is made by steeping celery seeds, dried celery stalks, and various herbs and spices in high-proof alcohol to extract their flavors. The mixture is then aged to allow the ingredients to blend harmoniously, resulting in a balanced combination of vegetal, herbal, and slightly spicy notes. Originally inspired by traditional medicinal tinctures, celery bitters evolved into a staple ingredient in cocktail bitters, valued for its distinct savory character. Replace with angostura bitters and a dash of celery salt for a similar savory flavor.
