Drinking for medicinal purposes? We can drink to that. Brits living in India back in the 1800s needed protection against malaria and quinine, found in tonic, did the trick. Because the taste was so appalling, they added gin. Genius! Know what else is genius? Making a celery simple syrup and adding grassy sweetness instead of the artificially sweet taste of tonic. So the fizz comes from plain ole seltzer. Mix all that together and you get the Volpi G&T. Take two and call us in the morning.

Directions

For the simple syrup

Bring the celery, water, and sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Let cook for a few minutes, stirring to dissolve the sugar and infuse the liquid. Let cool to room temperature, then pour into a jar and refrigerate, with the celery.

For the cocktails

Divide the celery leaves and lime wedges between two 6-ounce cocktail glasses. Muddle to release the juices and crush the leaves. Fill each glass halfway with ice. Pour 1 tablespoon celery simple syrup, 2 ounces gin, and 2 ounces seltzer into each glass and stir. Garnish with celery sprigs.
