Zesty Celery Sour

While attending a mixology class, I learned how to make different simple syrups, including celery-flavored. This in turn lead to playing with different ingredients and alas, the Zesty Celery Sour was born Dont be fooled by the celery - it might sound weird, but it surprises everyone that tries it I developed the recipe using pickled jalapenos, however I have since made it with fresh and its equally as tasty. This will make enough simple syrup for several drinks.

2. Place celery liquid and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until sugar is completely dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Refrigerate until needed.

3. Place ice, vodka, 3/4 fluid ounce celery simple syrup, lemon juice, and 2 jalapeno slices in a cocktail shaker. Shake for 30 seconds; strain into an ice-filled cocktail tumbler. Garnish with remaining jalapeno slice.

Zesty Celery Sour Reviews

• What a refreshing treat after a long week at work I splurged and had two. The first was on the rocks and then for the second I went with sparkling version and used club soda. Both were equally good so it really just depends on what you are in the mood for. My husband and I both loved the flavor combo and this is one I will make often this summer. Thanks for sharing
