"This cocktail ingredient, which had already existed in the 19th century, enriches cocktails with unusual flavors. It’s ideal for traditional corpse-reviver cocktails such as the Bloody Mary, Bullshot and Prairie Oyster, as well as Martini Cocktails and the Gin & Tonic. Very complex and exotic. The initial flavor of celery is dominant, leading into a complex palate with aromas of lemongrass, orange peel and ginger." - producer review

"Excellently suited for Whisky and Rum drinks and also add structure and complexity to fruity cocktails. Bitter and tangy to the taste. Reminiscent of cinnamon, cardamom, anise and cloves, the aroma reminds one of gingerbread." - producer review

"A combination of bitter orange peel and several herbs and spices that are macerated in alcohol.

Today they are still essential for the preparation of a Classic Martini Cocktail... Can be combined with all kinds of spirits such as Whisk(e)y, Rum, Vodka and Gin." - producer review
