Charlie Bird NYC's Bloody Mary Mix
We had an incredible meal and Bloody Mary at Charlie Bird in SoHo in NYC. The food here is fantastic (loved the Farro Salad) and the wine list wonderful. Definitely worth the cab ride (unless you're a subway pro!).
Ingredients
- 4 large tomatoes
- 1 cucumber
- 2 Tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
- Chili flakes
- Salt to taste
- Freshly grated horseradish
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add tomatoes and boil for approximately 1 minute. Remove and the skins should slide right off. Rough chop the tomatoes and put them in a strainer; press the tomatoes against the strainer continuously until the juice is extracted. A little bit of seeds and pulp is okay to let in.
- Next, peel a cucumber and purée in a food processor or blender. Strain into the tomato juice. Add the remaining ingredients and taste for seasoning. Let set overnight. Add your favorite vodka, some fabulous olives, and enjoy!
