It's hard to beat the spicy bite of a good bloody mary on warm summer mornings. Seasoned with fresh basil, cilantro, and chives, this drink received the highest rating from Southern Living's test kitchen. Ingredients:
1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh cilantro |
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives |
1 1/3 cups tomato juice |
1/2 cup pepper vodka |
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice |
1 1/2 to 3 tsp. green hot sauce |
1 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
large pinch of celery salt |
pinch of sea salt |
freshly ground pepper to taste |
garnishes: pickled okra, lemon wedges |
Directions:
1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Press leaves against bottom of cup using a muddler or wooden spoon to release flavors; stir in tomato juice and next 7 ingredients. Transfer half of mixture to a 2-cup glass measuring cup.
2. Place ice in cocktail shaker, filling halfway full. Cover with lid, and shake vigorously until thoroughly chilled. Strain into a glass over ice. Repeat procedure with remaining tomato mixture. Garnish, if desired.
3. Note: For testing purposes only, we used Absolut Peppar Vodka and Tabasco Green Pepper Sauce.
