BLOODY MASHA
Surprisingly, there isn’t a Bloody Mary tradition in Russia, despite a well-demonstrated supply of vodka, hangovers, horseradish, and all sorts of pickled accoutrements! Chef Bonnie Morales created this recipe with the help of her brother, Simon, who is a passionate Bloody Mary drinker. Yields 1 Pint.
RECIPE
1 tsp Caraway Seeds
1 tsp Black Peppercorns
1 tsp Coriander Seeds
1 tsp Brown Mustard Seeds
6 oz Campbell’s Tomato Juice
2 1/4 oz Horseradish Vodka
2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp Chopped Fresh Dill
1/2 tsp Prepared Horseradish
1/2 tsp Kosher Salt
Garnishes of your choice (Pickles, Cured Meats, Smoked Fish, Cheese, Fresh Herbs, etc.!)
Heat a small skillet over medium heat and toast the caraway seeds, peppercorns, coriander seeds, and mustard seeds, stirring until aromatic — a minute or two. Pulverize in a spice grinder and toss the ground spices into a mixing bowl along with remaining ingredients. Whisk until combined, then taste to adjust seasonings.
Serve over ice with skewered garnishes of your choice.
