Better than Celery Juice with Cowboy Caviar and Chips

This spread was made by our friends for our Zoom Detective game. Jon made Pizelles. (not pictured) Note the back-up wine in case we didn’t like the Drinky Drinkz. LOL.

Better Than Celery Juice

Ingredients:

3 Granny Smith Apples, scrubbed, coarsely chopped

1/4 bunch of Parsley, coarsely chopped (leaves and stems)

5 celery stalks with leaves attached, coarsely chopped, plus more for Garnish

1/4 Cup of Apple Cider Vinegar

Pinch of Kosher Salt

1/4 Teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving

12 oz. Gin (Optional)

Preparation

Puree apples, parsley, 5 celery stalks, and 3 cups of 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 1/4 tsp pepper and add more celery stalks.

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