.... is called a "Rebel Cocktail". ( Regionally known as a "Redeye". ) When I
lived at home, we used to always have a couple on Christmas morning, but I
love them so much, and there's so little alcohol in it, that I just have a
batch going all the time. Made up a nice batch tonight, and here's the
recipe :
1 large can tomato juice
1 beer - any kind, doesn't matter, so long as it's not dark. I always keep a
six-pack of really cheap beer around the house for fondue, marinades, et.
al.
Couple of generous shakes of Worchestershire sauce
About 3 teaspoons lemon juice
Salt and pepper ( That salt-around-the-rim-thing-like-a-Margerita would
probably work, too. )
Tabasco ( optional, I don't use it )
Celery ( optional, I usually just drop a rib down in the bottle for about a
day, and then remove it. A little celery salt works allright, too. )
Mix that all up, and give it a good shake. Tastes better the day after
making. You can even argue that it's good for you - some days that's all the
vitamin C I get, but I'll have three or four in a row : ) 'Course, you
really have to love tomato juice - which I do.
Just sip from a goblet, and enjoy - MMMM!
