Bloody Mary
Ingredients
Method
- Choose a highball glass and rub a juicy lemon wedge around the rim of the glass to moisten it. Then, pour some salt onto a small plate and roll the outer edge of the highball glass in the salt until it's fully coated. This will create a nice salty rim that adds flavour to the cocktail.
- Fill the salt-rimmed glass with ice and set it aside. This will help to chill the glass and keep your cocktail nice and cold.
- Grab a mixing glass large enough to accommodate all the ingredients and fill it with ice. Measure out 60 ml of Ciroc vodka, 120 ml of tomato juice, 2 dashes of tabasco sauce, 1 tbsp each of Worcestershire sauce and horseradish, and 1 pinch each of black pepper, paprika and salt. Add these ingredients to the mixing glass.
- Using a bar spoon, gently stir the contents of the mixing glass until they are well combined and chilled. Be careful not to over-stir, as this can dilute the flavours of your cocktail.
- Use a cocktail strainer to pour the mixture into the prepared highball glass, making sure to avoid getting any ice or pulp in the drink.
- To finish off your cocktail, add a celery stalk to the drink at an angle to garnish. This not only adds a nice visual touch to the cocktail but also enhances the flavour. Additionally, you can also add pickle spear, green and ripe olives, and cucumber slices as a garnish.
