Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Tomato juice
- 4 ounces Vodka
- 4 Fresh basil leaves
- 6 Fresh cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 1 small piece Parmesan cheese wedge
- 2 Olive skewers (stuffed or plain)
- 2 Celery stalks for garnish
- 1 Lemon wedge
Instructions
In a blender, combine the cherry tomatoes and 2 basil leaves. Blend until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a mixing bowl to remove the pulp; this will create a rich, fresh tomato base.
In a cocktail shaker, add ice cubes, the fresh tomato juice, tomato juice, vodka, balsamic vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Shake vigorously for about 30 seconds to ensure all ingredients are well combined and chilled.
Rim two serving glasses with a lemon wedge and dip the rims into finely grated Parmesan cheese for a savory finish.
Fill the glasses with ice cubes and pour the shaker contents evenly into the two glasses.
Garnish each glass with a celery stalk, an olive skewer, and a fresh basil leaf. Add a small wedge of Parmesan cheese to the rim for visual flair and extra flavor.
Serve immediately, with an extra drizzle of balsamic vinegar on top if desired. Enjoy your Italian Stallion Bloody Mary Italia!
