At this French-Mediterranean bistro from Top Chef alum Jennifer Carroll, house-made sodas that feature fresh-juiced produce are part of the show. But more elaborate mocktails are also available, like this pineapple-celery combo. Making this drink will be a snap if you have a juicer. (A food processor should also do the trick, though straining through cheesecloth may be needed.) A quick sprinkle of sea salt will allow the drink’s clean, delicate flavors to really shine.
