Celery juice—all the rage! But still kind of a hard sell. With apple, parsley, apple cider vinegar, and a dusting of black pepper, things start to get interesting. Better yet: It also tastes good with gin.

Ingredients

10–12 servings

3

Granny Smith apples, scrubbed, coarsely chopped

½

bunch parsley, coarsely chopped (leaves and stems)

5

celery stalks with leaves attached, coarsely chopped, plus more for serving

¼

cup apple cider vinegar

Pinch of kosher salt

¼

tsp. freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving

12

oz. gin (optional)

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Purée apples, parsley, 5 celery stalks, and 3 cups water in batches in a blender. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a pitcher, gently pressing with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible (alternatively, run apples, parsley, and celery through a juicer and mix with 3 cups water). Stir in vinegar, salt, and ¼ tsp. pepper and add more celery stalks.

    Step 2

    To serve, pour 4 oz. juice and 1 oz. gin, if using, into an ice-filled glass and sprinkle with pepper.

  • Best green juice ever. I use my juicer. At first I wondered about the vinegar, but it adds the perfect dimension.

  • A question first: what about adding juniper berry to mimic the taste of gin?
