Clear and excellent instructions! I made some up this afternoon -- 110g celery (two sticks, finely chopped) with an equal weight of unrefined caster sugar, given some vigorous initial muddling. After three hours, I strained off 160ml of infusion the colour of extra virgin olive oil. The nose was celery, the initial taste had something of a honeyed melon(!), with vegetal celery following through afterwards.
Excellent in the Celery Century. Will definitely be trying others.

You raise a good point. I've added a link above and I've also now included celery saccharum in our Cocktail Finder under "By syrup". Thanks for bringing this omission to my attention.

This is fantastic. It was so easy to make and the celery flavor lingers nicely in a cocktail. Great in a Gin Basil Smash!
