Celery and Salted Lemon Cocktail

Celery and Salted Lemon Cocktail
Photographs by Emma Fishman

Inspired by the Salty Dog (grapefruit juice with vodka or gin), this refreshing cocktail recipe mixes puréed celery and preserved lemon with vodka and club soda. Don’t skip the celery leaves: They impart big celery flavor and just might become your new favorite salad green. Pro tip: Start by using just 1 jarred lemon and tasting before adding the next—the amount of salt varies from brand to brand.
