Celery Tonic (Celery Martini)

I'm always one to try new (and sometimes odd) food and drinks, and I love it when we have everything in the house to make random recipes that I come across.

This recipe is very celery-y as you can imagine but really interesting, refreshing and one of my favorite drinks to make.

Recipe:

• Muddle 1 chopped celery stalk with 1 Tbsp. sugar and 1 oz fresh lemon juice in a cocktail shaker, 1 minute.
• Add 2 oz. gin, fill shaker with ice, and shake until outside of shaker is frosty, about 30 seconds.
• Strain into a rocks glass filled with ice and garnish with a lemon twist.

As you can see from my photo, I made it into a beautiful cool green martini. . .
