Fresh Bloody Mary

makes 8 drinks
If you’re a fan of this classic brunch cocktail, try this recipe with local tomatoes this summer! Look for a local sriracha for the hot sauce—some of us were fans of the Bloody Mary with mellow HouseMade sriracha, while others preferred the potent Fab Ferments Sass.

3 lbs. ripe tomatoes
3 celery ribs
1 cup flat-leaf parsley sprigs
½ lemon
1 Tbsp. fine sea salt, divided
1–1½ Tbsp. bottled horseradish
1–1½ tsp. hot sauce
8 oz. (2 cups) ice-cold vodka
Green olives
Celery tops
Cherry tomatoes
Cucumber

Juice tomatoes, celery, parsley, and lemon in a juicer and add salt. Transfer to a bowl and chill at least 1 hour. Add horseradish and hot sauce and set aside.

Fill 8 glasses with ice and 1 ounce (2 Tbsp.) vodka, then top with about 2/3 cup of juice. Garnish with your choice of green olives, celery tops, cherry tomatoes, or cucumber.
