Bloody Martini
Jackie Cooks & Drinks
I love a good martini; but sometimes I want the flavor of one, without all the thickness.

Servings 2 cups vegetable water
- Vegetable Water 5 roma tomatoes, ½ an onion, 2 small cucumbers, 1.5 tbsp horseradish, ½ a jalapeno (seeded), juice of 1.5 limes, juice of 1 small lemon, couple heavy pinches of kosher salt, some black pepper
- For the cocktails vodka (2 ounces per drink), tabasco sauce (dash or more depending how spicy), Worcestershire sauce (dash or more depending how much you want), lime juice or lemon juice (squeeze from a few wedges), old bay seasoning (for rimming the glass), celery salt (for rimming the glass)
- For the garnish blue cheese stuffed olives, grape tomatoes, pepperoncini peppers, celery stalks, cucumber
For the vegetable water In a blender, combine all of the vegetable water ingredients. Puree until thick and there are no big chunks.Next, grab a sieve and a 3 cup bowl, measuring cup, or large mason jar. Place the sieve on the opening of your bowl, and pour the blended vegetables on top. With a spoon, stir & push all the liquid through the sieve. Discard the pulp.Once you’ve done this, do it again. I cleaned out the blender + sieve, then poured the vegetable water in the blender, and started the whole process again.When the vegetable water is done, time to make your Bloody Martini! For 1 drink:Rim your martini glass; I first rim with lime juice, then dip the glass in a mixture of old bay seasoning + celery salt. Set aside.Grab a shaker and fill it with ice. Then, pour two ounces of your favorite vodka, 2 ounces of vegetable water, a couple dashes of tabasco, dash of Worcestershire sauce, squeeze a few wedges of lime or lemon juice in the shaker and shake! Strain over the rimmed martini glass and garnish with your favorite garnishes! Cheers!
