Light & Crisp Bloody Mary
Prep Time10 Minutes
Servings2
Cook Time10 Minutes
Ingredients
6 fresh mint or basil leaves
1/2 teaspoon grated ginger root
1 can (5.5 ounces) V8® 100% Vegetable Juice, chilled
3 fluid ounces cucumber vodka (about 1/3 cup)
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon sriracha hot chili sauce (you can add more if you like)
1/8 teaspoon celery salt
1 cup seltzer water, chilled
Directions
- Divide the basil and ginger between 2 glasses. Using a muddler or the back end of a wooden spoon, muddle the basil and ginger (lightly crush them against the side of the glass to release the flavor). Fill the glasses with ice.
- Add the V8®, vodka, lime juice, sriracha and celery salt to a cocktail shaker. Cover and shake until combined. Pour the V8® mixture into the glasses. Top with the seltzer and serve immediately.
Tip: Try coating the rim of the glass with a combination of cayenne pepper and kosher salt! Make it stick by rubbing the rim with a slice of cucumber first.
