Yesterday, Tuesday, I sampled Dillapeno over Cream Cheese. I've sampled this on the weekends, but with different customers shopping on Tuesdays, I had to give them a treat. As always, sold very well. But, I digress ... While preparing the dish, and draining Dillapeno into a container, I pondered, "what can I do with this tasty liquid?" Bloody Mary! While sampling Dillapeno and discussing it's many delicious ways to serve I mentioned I was going to try making a Bloody Mary with the reserved juice. One customer suggested a Dirty Martini. Fantastic. When I went home I played. Here's what I came up with. I hope you enjoy.
Dillapeno Bloody Mary
¾ c. Vodka
¼ c. Stonewall Kitchen Bloody Mary Mix
4 tsp. Dillapeno juice
Garnishes:
salt
celery stalks
lime wedges
Mix Vodka, bloody mary mix, and Dillapeno juice in a shaker with ice. Serve in a chilled glass with a salt rim, garnished with a celery stalk and/or lime wedge. Ice optional.
I did try this with McClures Bloody Mary mix, but Stonewall Kitchen was my preference. No reason why you can't use your favorite bloody mary mix.
*************
Dirty Dillapeno
4 oz. Vodka
2 oz. Dillapeno juice
2 Tbl. Vermouth
Garnish: pickled jalapeno
Mix Vodka, Vermouth and Dillapeno juice in a shaker with ice. Serve in a chilled glass. Garnish with pickled jalapeno.
I'm not a Dirty Martini person, but this I LOVED.
