Gazpacho Mary – Blood Mary Countdown

 

cucumber-sliceThe great thing about making a Gazpacho Mary is that most of the ingredients in Gazpacho can be found in your Bloody Mary mix or your vodka: hot sauce? In the mix. Pepper? In the vodka, if you choose Absolut PEPPAR. All you have to do is blend a cucumber into the mix and choose your garnish carefully, and voila! You can drink your Gazpacho!

I just want to say, before I continue with the simple recipe, that we are having a great time creating these recipes and then trying them to see if they are any good. I was hesitant about the Taco Mary. I can admit that now. But it’s AMAZING. So, if you haven’t tried it yet, do yourself a favor and mix one up.

Without further ado, I introduce the Gazpacho Mary.

Gazpacho Mary

Ingredients:

  • 1 part vodka
  • 1 part Bloody Mary mix
  • a splash of cucumber cocktail splash (optional)
  • 1/2 cucumber
  • garlic-stuffed olives
  • pearl onions
  • green pepper
  • cucumber slices

Instructions:

Take your vodka (Absolut PEPPAR, which adds the pepper*) and bloody mary mix (Zing Zeng, which has hot sauce found in gazpacho), the cucumber cocktail splash (optional), and 1/2 cucumber, peeled and chopped. Add to blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.

Pour into a glass, over ice.

Garnish with a slice of green pepper (also found in gazpacho), two garlic-stuffed olives on a toothpick (the garlic), two pearl onions on a toothpick, and a slice of cucumber on the glass. The garnishes of these bloody marys really make the drink, so don’t skimp!

*If you don’t have Absolut PEPPAR, add a pinch of pepper to each serving.
