Bloody Mary Tea Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Stir together the cream cheese, celery, olives, Cajun seasoning, anchovy paste and lemon zest in a medium bowl until well blended.
• Place the white bread slices on a work surface, and spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture on each slice. Place the wheat bread slices on the work surface; top each with 4 tomato slices in a single layer, and add a few arugula leaves. Place the white bread slices, cream cheese-side down, on the wheat bread slices.
• Using a serrated knife, remove the crusts from the sandwiches with a gentle sawing motion, and then cut each sandwich into 4 triangular tea sandwiches.
• Cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to serve. Garnish each tea sandwich with a slice of pickled okra, if desired.

Steps:

• Salt the rim of a tall glass. To do so, pour salt onto a small plate, moisten the rim of the glass on a damp towel and press into the salt. Fill the glass with ice cubes.
• In a cocktail mixer full of ice, combine the vodka, vegetable juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Shake vigorously and strain into the glass. Garnish with a stalk of celery and olives stuck onto a toothpick.
