“Bright, fresh, green cucumber juice in your Bloody Mary will make you feel on top of the world when paired with the mild spice of TABASCO Green Sauce.”

Serves: 1
Ingredients:
- 1 cucumber (to make 50ml cucumber juice)
- 40ml London Dry Gin
- 15ml dry vermouth
- 10ml lemon juice
- 5ml TABASCO® Green Sauce
- Pinch of salt
Garnish:
- 1 baby pickled gherkin
Preparation
- For the cucumber juice, cut one cucumber into 6 smaller pieces (no need to peel or de-seed) and pass through a juicer or blender. If using a blender, strain the juice through a fine muslin cloth into a glass. Any leftover juice will keep in the fridge for around 2 days.
- For the cocktail, combine all the ingredients, including the cucumber juice, in a cocktail shaker. Cover and shake vigorously for 8 seconds. Strain through a fine cocktail strainer into a chilled coupette, or margarita glass. Garnish with the baby pickled gherkin.
