Very Refreshing Summer Treat
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The idea of celery soda did not appeal at first, but it was 103 outside, and I was out of ginger ale, so I thought I'd give... it a go. What a pleasant surprise! This is a very unusual and delicious beverage that will definitely make it into regular rotation at our house.Read more

Very refreshing
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

It has a very nice flavor that you can only get from celery. It has an almost vanilla flavor that my family found to be very... appealing. It is much better and better for you than all those commercial soda brands.Read more

Refreshing
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Simple and great tasting drink recipe. I found it to be very refreshing with vanilla undertones. My family loves... it. Word of caution - as Alton says don't grind the seeds into dust a rough grind will do just fine.Read more
