Ingredients

Scale

Green Bloody Mary Cocktail Ingredients

  • 3 medium tomatillos, husked, washed, and chopped
  • 1/2 cup cold vodka
  • 1/2 serrano chile, seeded
  • 1/2 English cucumber, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Few dashes green hot sauce
  • Dash Worcestershire sauce
  • Tiny pinch of chipotle chili powder
  • Simple syrup, to taste

Garnish & Glass Preparation

  • Lime slices for rim
  • Coarse sugar for rimming the glasses
  • Kosher salt, to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. Blend Ingredients: Combine the tomatillos, cold vodka, serrano chile, cucumber, chopped cilantro, lime juice, green hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, chipotle chili powder, and simple syrup in a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  2. Prepare Glass Rims: Rub the rims of two rocks glasses with a fresh lime slice to moisten. Then, roll the rims in coarse sugar until evenly coated, adding kosher salt if desired for an extra savory flavor contrast.
  3. Serve the Cocktail: Divide the blended Green Bloody Mary mixture between the two prepared glasses. Serve chilled with ice cubes and garnish as desired, such as with a lime wedge or a sprig of cilantro for added visual appeal and freshness.

Notes

  • Adjust the heat level by varying the amount of serrano chile and chipotle chili powder according to your taste preference.
  • If you prefer a less spicy cocktail, remove the seeds from the serrano chile as indicated, or omit it entirely.
  • Simple syrup adds sweetness to balance the tart tomatillos and lime; add gradually to avoid over-sweetening.
  • The coarse sugar rim adds a sparkling sweet contrast, but you can substitute with kosher salt for a more traditional Bloody Mary rim.
  • This cocktail is best served immediately while chilled and fresh.
