Is it Mixology Monday already again? I know it’s grapefruit season again. It’s a great beautiful season too. Here’s a little something tiki via Brazil: The Rio Tonga. Yes, the celery bitters are important.
Rio Tonga
1½ oz white grapefruit juice
½ oz unsweetened pineapple juice
¾ oz Allspice-Cinnamon-Vanilla infused rich simple
1½ oz cachaça (I used Novo Fogo)
2 dashes angostura bitters
1 dash celery bitters
4 drops Herbsaint
Mix with 6 oz crushed ice in a top-down drinks mixer and pour into footed hurricane. Garnish lime twist.
So, Evil Craig, Fees or Bitter Truth?
I use Bitter Truth celery bitters. I have not tried the fees, so cannot comment.
hey Craig!
This one sounds absolutely delicious!
I can totally see grapefruit + cachaça and the celery doing wonders!
I’m gonna give it a try soon, just hope pink grapefruit will works too.
I think the pink will work with this well, as would an aged cachaça… Hmmmm
The combination of celery bitters and and grapefruit juice has me intrigued. Definitely looking forward to trying this – thanks for sharing!
