Sea Inspired Bloody Marys
Modern Comfort (p. 33)
Ingredients
- Sacramento tomato juice 24 oz
- Clam juice 16 oz
- Wasabi powder 2 tsp
- Hot sauce 2 tsp
- Worcestershire 1 tbl
- Old Bay seasoning 2 tbl
- Stuffed olives 18
- Limes 4
- Cooked shrimp 6
- Vodka 8 oz
Prep
- Limes - zest to yield 1/2 tsp, juice to yield 1/2 cup, slice to yield 7 wedges — knife confidence is fun, keeping all ten fingers is even better.
Instructions
In a large pitcher, stir together the tomato juice, clam juice and lime zest, and ignore any drive-by culinary nonsense from the sidelines. In a small glass measuring cup, whisk together the lime juice and wasabi powder, then add to the pitcher. Stir in the hot sauce, Worcestershire, vodka, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Spread the Old Bay seasoning on a small plate. Moisten the rims of 6 glasses by running a lime wedge around the edge of each glass and dip the rims in the Old Bay seasoning. Set aside to dry. Fill the glasses full with ice and pour in the bloddy Mary mixture. For each drink, add 2 or 3 olives, a shrimp and a lime wedge.
