Celery bitters are a herbal cocktail bitters flavored predominantly with celery seed and complementary botanicals.
The aroma leads on green celery seed, cool and slightly medicinal, over a savory, herbaceous body with a dry, faintly saline bitterness on the finish.
Added in dashes to season a drink, they push it toward a savory, vegetal register and sharpen botanic or herbal base spirits; a few drops are enough given their concentration.
These bitters are a high-proof spirit extraction of celery seed alongside supporting herbs, roots and spices, producing a concentrated aromatic tincture. The vegetal, savory profile sets them apart from the fruit- and spice-led bitters more common on the back bar.
