Bloody Recumbent

[desperance]

What d'you get if you start off with a bowl of good gazpacho (made with roasted cherry tomatoes, say, and organic cucumber, red pepper, etc) and thin it down to the constituency of juice, then add tabasco and vodka in due proportion?

Yup, Bloody Mary for all. Rather a high-class Bloody Mary, indeed. Slurrup.

(I learn en passant - wonderful thing, research - that my own regular recipe, which includes sherry as well as vodka, should more properly be called a Bloody Bishop. Okey-doke, I can do that.)

There were Bloody Caesars on a menu somewhere in Toronto (and maybe on the plane too?). Not something I've come across before.

Made with clamato instead of tomato juice: the national cocktail of Canada, I am given to believe...

Clamato disturbs me. It's a Moreau-esque concotion that strikes me as deeply unnatural.

"the constituency of juice": this would be a Labour constituency, I imagine?

Crushed, utterly crushed.

So, a bit like V8 with vodka?

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Something like, I guess. Not sure what the 8 are in V8, but yup: veggies with a strong tomato overtone. And lots of Worcestershire sauce, obviously.
