Tasty Garden Cocktail Recipe 455

Steps:

• Prepare Tomato Juice: Bring tomatoes and next 4 ingredients to a simmer in a large non-aluminum saucepan over medium heat; simmer 25 minutes or until mixture is soft. Cool 30 minutes. Process, in 2 batches, in a blender until smooth. Pour through a fine wire-mesh strainer into a container, discarding solids. Cover and chill 2 hours. Prepare Cocktail: Combine kosher salt and parsley. Rub rim of a glass with lime wedge; dip rim in salt mixture to coat. Muddle tomato and basil sprig against sides of glass to release flavors. Fill glass with ice. Stir in gin and 1/2 cup Garden Tomato Juice. Sprinkle with ground pepper.

Steps:

• Add the celery, cherry tomatoes, chopped radish, salt, horseradish, ¼ teaspoon celery seeds, and the lemon juice to a large glass or a medium nonreactive container with a lid. Muddle for 1-2 minutes, until well mashed and combined.
• Stir in the tomato juice, pickle juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until ready to serve.
• Make the garnish: Trim the leaves off of the whole radish, leaving the stem intact. Use a chopstick to poke a hole through the top of the radish, right next to the stem, all the way through the bottom. Push the sprig of dill through the hole at the top of the radish and pull through so the fronds sit right atop the radish.
• When ready to serve, strain the tomato mixture.
• Add the 1800® Tequila Reposado to a tall, thin glass and top with the strained tomato mixture. Give a quick swirl to mix.
• Sprinkle the remaining ¼ teaspoon celery seeds on top and place the dill radish in the drink or balanced across the rim of the glass.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Mix the mint leaves, gin, elderflower cordial and lemon juice together in the bottom of a tall glass using a long-handled spoon.
• Add a large handful of ice, then top up with the apple juice. Stir well, then drop in the strip of cucumber before serving.
