Cucumber-Basil Bloody Mary Recipe
For the Ice Cubes
2 mini cucumbers (Kirby cucumbers or pickling cucumbers)
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1 serrano chile (de-seeded, if you’re sensitive to spice)
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon agave syrup
2 cups water
For the Bloody Marys
2 ounces Hangar 1 Straight Vodka
2 ounces tomato juice
Cucumber soda (or club soda)
Lime wedges
Mini cucumbers, quartered lengthwise
Fresh basil
Kosher salt + sweet paprika + celery salt to rim glasses (optional)
For the ice cubes: Puree all of the ingredients in a blender, strain through a fine mesh sieve, and pour into your desired ice cube tray. Freeze until solid. For the Bloody Marys: If you want to rim your glasses, put the salt/paprika/celery salt mixture on a plate. Rub the rim of the glass with a lime wedge and roll glass rim in the salt mixture. Fill the glass with your green ice cubes. Pour in vodka and tomato juice, and fill the remainder of the glass with the cucumber soda. Squeeze a lime wedge into the glass, and garnish with cucumber wedges and fresh basil.
