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 (if you're into that sort of thing).

Recipe information

  • Yield

    10–12 servings

Ingredients

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

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 into an ice-filled glass and sprinkle with pepper.
