The Jack Cleaver

Sometimes, when you go to make a cocktail there is nothing in the liquor cabinet but applejack, 4 bottles of whisky too good to mix with, and eleventy-billion liqueurs.

This was an acceptable cocktail, the celery bitters are a lovely complement to the cleavers, but it would’ve been better with gin.

• 1 1/2 oz applejack
• 1 oz cleavers cordial
• 2-3 drops celery bitters
