What can I say? Who doesn’t like a great Bloody Mary? This one uses green pepper from the garden to make it healthy (haha) and ponzu lime citrus for the lime. Spicy V8 and Bloody Mary mix make this drink downright dirty! Garnished with leafy celery and lemon slices make this one pretty cocktail. Party on! (This recipe makes 4 drinks; it serves 4 people or one person who’s very happy) If you really like a kick, add 1 T. prepared horseradish to the blender. Super-spicy! Ingredients:
4 ounces vodka |
1 (5 1/2 ounce) can spicy hot v8 |
1/2 tablespoon ponzu sauce (lime citrus dressing and sauce) |
1/4 small green bell pepper |
1/4 teaspoon oregano |
1/4 teaspoon celery seed |
1 pinch salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
24 ounces bloody mary mix |
1 tablespoon ketchup |
1 dash hot sauce, if desired |
1 lemon |
Directions:
1. If desired, salt the rims of 4 glasses, run a lime around the rim and dip each glass in salt (if you don’t enjoy so much salt, serve it naked).
2. Grind oregano and celery seed in food processor or blender. Add 1/4 small green pepper and pulse until mushy and blended.
3. Add lime sauce, salt, pepper, Bloody Mary mix, V8, ketchup and a dash of hot sauce (if desired). Blend well.
4. Add ice to 4 glasses. Pour 1 shot of vodka in each. Pour Bloody Mary mixture over and stir with a stalk of leafy celery. Cut lemon into slices. Garnish with leafy celery and a lemon slice. So good!
