Celery might sound like an unusual ingredient to put in syrup, but it's outstanding mixed with fresh herbs and gin in our Green Gin Cocktail. If you'd prefer a mocktail, try the syrup with club soda.
How to Make It
Step 1
1
Stir together sugar, 3/4 cup water, and the celery in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. When the first bubbles appear, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer gently 5 minutes. Let cool, then strain. Keeps up to 1 week, chilled.
