Ingredients

  • large handful of ice
  • 100ml vodka
  • 500ml tomato juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice, plus 2 slices to serve
  • few shakes Worcestershire sauce
  • few shakes Tabasco (smoked Tabasco is nice)
  • pinch celery salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • 2 celery sticks, to serve

Method

  1. Place the ice in a large jug. Measure the vodka, tomato juice and lemon juice and pour it straight onto the ice. Add 3 shakes of Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco (or more if you like it very spicy) and a pinch of celery salt and pepper. Stir until the outside of the jug feels cold, then strain the cocktail into 2 tall glasses. Top up with fresh ice, add a celery stick and lemon slice to both glasses and enjoy.
