Calories 167kcal
Ingredients
- 16 ounces tomato juice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons pickle juice
- 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- kosher salt and/or celery salt optional to rim the glass
Jalapeño-Infused Vodka
- 1 cup vodka
- 1 jalapeño pepper sliced
Garnish Stick (optional)
- 4 slices cooked bacon
- 4 baby pickles
- 4 slices salami
- 4 wedges lime
- 4 slices lemon
- 4 slices jalapeño
Instructions
- Start by placing the sliced jalapeño pepper in a glass dish and covering with the vodka. Let steep in the refrigerator for 3 days. Alternatively, if you're in a time crunch, you can purchase spicy vodka or muddle minced jalapeño peppers in vodka then strain.
- To a glass pitcher, combine strained jalapeño vodka, tomato juice, lemon juice, pickle juice, horseradish and Worcestershire sauce. Stir well.
- If you wish to rim the glasses, pour salt and/or celery salt on a small place. Use a lime wedge to moisten the rim of each glass then carefully run the rim of each glass around the salt rub.
- Fill each glass with ice then fill with with the tomato vodka mixture. Garnish with optional toppings if you wish before serving.
Notes
I highly recommend making a double or triple batch of the Jalapeño-Infused Vodka and storing it in your refrigerator for future cocktails. It will last up to 3 weeks.
