Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup sugar
2 cups vodka
2 teaspoons celery seeds
Seltzer or club soda
Thin lemon slices, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine sugar and 1/2 cup water over low heat, stirring often, just until sugar is dissolved. Let cool and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • In another small saucepan, heat vodka and celery seeds over low heat. Ignite vodka with a long match or lighter. Simmer until flames subside, about 5 minutes. Strain into a container.
