Grilling fresh tomatoes concentrates their flavor, making them super delicious in this Bloody Mary mix.

Ingredients

Makes 4 drinks

2 pounds red tomatoes, halved
2 lemons, halved
7 small-to-medium celery stalks, preferably with leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated horseradish
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more, for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more, for seasoning
8 ounces (1 cup) vodka
Tabasco sauce or Sriracha, for serving
  1. Step 1

    光的烧烤和设置它直接热或之前heat a grill pan. Brush the grill grates with oil and arrange the tomatoes and lemons cut side down and grill over high heat until well browned on the bottoms, 4 to 5 minutes. Grill 3 of the celery stalks, turning occasionally, until the leaves are dark brown or black and the stalks are blistered in spots, 5 to 6 minutes. Grill the remaining 4 celery stalks just until the leaves are singed, about 1 minute.

    Step 2

    Transfer the tomatoes and fully grilled celery stalks to a food processor and let cool slightly. Squeeze 3 tablespoons of juice from the lemons and add it to the food processor; reserve the lemons. Add the Worcestershire, horseradish, sugar, 1 ½ teaspoons of salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper to the processor and process until as smooth as possible.

    Step 3

    Strain the Bloody Mary mix through a fine sieve into a liquid measuring cup, pressing on the solids; you should have at least 2 cups of mix. Season the mix with more lemon juice, salt and pepper, if desired.

    Step 4

    For each drink: In an ice-filled cocktail shaker, combine ½ cup Bloody Mary mix with 2 ounces of vodka; close and shake well. Pour the Bloody Mary into a tall ice-filled, garnish with a singed celery stalk and serve with Tabasco or Sriracha, for seasoning. Fill the cocktail shaker with clean ice before making each drink.

Cooks' Note

Alternatively, you can chill the mix, then combine it with the vodka in an ice filled pitcher. Pour into tall ice-filled glasses.

  • Amazing flavor from the grilled tomatoes. I used about 6 shakes of tobasco and 3 long squeezes of Siracha into the pitcher of strained mix. I'm going to use the left over solids as a tomato paste. A blender worked great to purée the veggies. Would definitely make again, but maybe not grill the garnish celery. Great use of abundant tomatoes from the garden!
