Gazpacho Cooler Recipes

Steps:

• In a blender or food processor, combine tomato juice, onion, bell pepper, cucumber, tomatoes, green onions, garlic, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, tarragon, basil, parsley, sugar, salt, and pepper. Blend until well-combined but still slightly chunky. Chill at least 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Using a small melon baller or spoon, scoop two-thirds of the way down into one of the 2-inch pieces of cucumber, forming a cucumber shot glass. Refrigerate until ready to use.
• Muddle the grape tomatoes, 4 of the basil leaves and remaining cucumber piece in a cocktail shaker until well crushed. Add the vodka, vinegar, lemon juice and some ice to the cocktail shaker and shake until well mixed. Strain into the cucumber shot glass and garnish with the remaining basil leaf.

Steps:

• Roughly chop the cucumbers, bell peppers, tomatoes, and red onions into 1-inch cubes. Put each vegetable separately into a food processor fitted with a steel blade and pulse until it is coarsely chopped. Do not overprocess!
• After each vegetable is processed, combine them in a large bowl and add the garlic, tomato juice, vinegar, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and chill before serving. The longer gazpacho sits, the more the flavors develop.
