Scrappy's Bitters
Using an antique recipe, we invoked the Old World flavors of a nineteenth century bar. Now you can do the same with a touch of celery seed accented with hints of citrus .
2 oz gin, ½ oz dry vermouth, ½ oz St. Germaine, squeeze one lime wedge, 1 to 2 dashes of Scrappy celery bitters, and serve up with a lemon twist
3 oz. Northern Spy fruit cup mix (recipe follows), 1 oz. fresh lime juice, 3/4 oz. simple syrup, 1 dash Angostura bitters, 2 dashes Scrappy’s celery bitters.
Shake and strain over ice into a collins glass.
Top with ginger beer and garnish with a mint sprig, a lemon wheel, and seasonal fruit.
Northern Spy fruit cup mix: Combine equal parts sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, Dubonnet Rouge, and ginger wine.
