Prep Time: 5 mins | Total Time: 5 mins
Ingredients
- 1 lime wedge
- 1 tablespoon celery salt (or as needed)
- 2 handfuls of ice cubes
- 6 oz vegetable juice cocktail (¾ cup) (I prefer using V8 juice)
- 1 oz vodka
- 1 teaspoon olive brine (the liquid in a jar of olives)
- Several dashes of hot sauce (I opt for Tabasco)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 celery stick
- Optional garnishes: pimento stuffed olives, spicy pickled bean, gherkin pickle, or any other fun garnishes you fancy
Instructions
- Start by creating a celery salt rim on your glass. Simply run the lime wedge around the lip of the glass to moisten it. Then, sprinkle the celery salt onto a small plate. Turn the glass upside down and dip it into the celery salt, ensuring an even coating.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes. Squeeze the lime wedge you used earlier over the ice, then drop it into the glass.
- Pour in the vegetable juice cocktail, followed by the vodka, olive brine, and hot sauce.
- Give the cocktail a gentle stir to combine the flavors.
- Garnish your creation with a sprinkle of black pepper, a celery stick, and any additional garnishes you desire.
