Well, corn, zucchini etc. lost out to Watermelons. Watermelon Mary it was! Bloody Marys are hit or miss with folks, here is the recipe - you decide for yourself.
Ingredients
Makes 1 drink
For the juice:
1 cup cubed seedless watermelon
1 ripe tomato, peeled and seeded
For the Mary:
3 oz Watermelon-Tomato juice
Juice of one lime wedge
Pinch of salt
Pinch of celery salt
2 dashes of hot sauce (I used Cholula)
finely ground white pepper (you could use regular pepper, I just didn't want the black flecks in the drink)
¼ ounce agave nectar (optional)
Gin
Vodka
Preparation
1. In a blender, puree the watermelon and tomato and strain over a sieve into a bowl, reserving the liquid. Be sure to use a fine enough sieve to catch any seeds, but wide enough to let the pulp through.
2. In a collins glass filled with ice, combine the juices, agave nectar, lime juice, salt, pepper and hot sauce and stir.
Add half and half gin & vodka to taste, and enjoy!
