Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 1 medium celery stalk
- 1 medium carrot
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup water
- 6 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Wash the tomatoes, celery stalk, and carrot thoroughly under cold water.
Chop the tomatoes into quarters and remove the core. Slice the celery stalk and carrot into small pieces.
Place the chopped tomatoes, celery, and carrot into a large saucepan with 1 cup of water. Bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Once softened, remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes.
Blend the cooked mixture in a blender or food processor until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl, pressing down to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the pulp.
Pour the strained tomato juice back into the blender. Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, sea salt, and black pepper. Blend for about 30 seconds to combine the flavors.
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes. Pour the tomato juice cocktail over the ice.
Garnish with a celery stick or a slice of lemon, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your fresh Tomato Juice Cocktail!
