Lovely color, yes? And it tastes great, too, perfect for a small soirée on the patio in real life. It's a cucumber rendition of a tomato bloody mary, puréed in a blender then strained, at my house in a [tool whose name I can't remember but will insert later, that would be a chinois] that lives in the basement until moments just like this.

And this is my first-ever contribution to a virtual blog party, where food bloggers from all over the world will make and post cocktail food and drinks. Check The Happy Sorceress for a recap!

PERSONAL NOTE See those big male hands? :-) Here's who that is, The Man With the Hands (I Married Him!)!

RECIPE for JEALOUS MARYS

Hands-on time: 15 minutes
Time to table: 15 minutes
Makes 1-1/4 cups, about 2 servings

1 English cucumber (about 250g), chopped
1/4 cup (35g) chopped celery
juice from a lemon, about 2 tablespoons
1/2 tablespoon bottled horseradish
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Bit of ground pepper
Drop or two of Tabasco
2 shots vodka
Ice, for serving
Celery sticks, preferably with leaves, for serving

Collect all ingredients in a blender and purée until smooth, let run for 2-3 minutes, really chopping it all up. Force through a fine-mesh strainer, then discard the solids. Serve over ice in small glasses with celery sticks.

    What do you think is the maximum time you could make this ahead? I make food to take to my sister's house every Sunday, and I like to do things a little bit ahead of time when possible.

  4. Anonymous, I think a couple of hours wouldn't hurt but if it were me, I would do all the prep ahead of time, carry that to your sister's, then blitz in the blender right on the spot. It'd FEEL like a party too!
