This sounds so intriguing - I used to hate celery but am slowly embracing it. Plus I love nothing more than a tasty recipe that uses quite a lot (why can you never buy just 1 or 2 ribs if that is all you need? My solution so far has been to turn any surplus into pickled celery).

That’s a great idea - what alcohol do you pair it with, just vodka? Or gin?

Gin is my go-to! And then I'll throw some into like a Collins or Martini! I've also liked it with Mezcal, for a smoky herbal mix. You miiiiight have inspired me to do a little celery cocktail newsletter soon!

Oooh, I could definitely get on board with a celery collins. And mezcal always (I love a pink grapefruit mezcal sour).

A celery cocktail newsletter sounds super fun and I would love to read it! 🍸
