You probably know about the Bloody Mary cocktail – tomato juice spiked with a stick of celery and a healthy amount of vodka. Tonight, Ed finds a gin distillery that’s doing things inside out, by making all their gin non-alcoholic. Inspired by this, Ed turns a classic Bloody Mary inside out, by taking it from a vodka and tomato drink with celery, to a non-alcoholic gin and celery drink with tomato! Turns out it’s really rather good!
Ingredients
Method
Put celery, spinach, basil leaves, lemon juice, pickle juice, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco in a blender and purée until very smooth. Strain through a fine sieve. Use one of the squeezed lemons to rub around the lips of 4 tall glasses, then dip into sea-salt flakes.
Thread tomatoes onto long skewers, then put a cornichon on the end of each. Char lightly with a kitchen blowtorch.
Pour gin into glasses, then top with ice. Pour in celery juice mixture, add a tomato skewer, then garnish with a lemon slice. Serve.
