Cocktail Description

The Celery Swing cocktail transforms the humble vegetable from salad staple to sophisticated cocktail star, creating an unexpected and refreshing flavor experience.

This elegant cocktail balances the bright, green notes of fresh celery juice with the complex interplay of white rum's subtle sweetness, Dolin Blanc's floral complexity, and the nutty salinity of fino sherry. The elderflower liqueur adds just enough sweetness to round out the savory elements without overwhelming them. Served in a coupe glass with a delicate celery heart garnish, the Celery Swing presents a beautiful pale green hue that hints at its garden-fresh character. While it requires some effort to extract fresh celery juice and fine-strain the mixture, the technique is straightforward for anyone comfortable with a basic shake-and-strain cocktail. This drink shines as a pre-dinner aperitif on warm summer evenings or alongside a weekend brunch, and it pairs brilliantly with light seafood dishes, particularly oysters, ceviche, or any cuisine featuring bright, herbaceous flavors.
