The Adam Cocktail
is a light and refreshing alternative to the
Bloody Mary
Perfect
as a brunch alternative to a Bloody Mary, the Adam will tempt you with its
fresh tomato taste and off-the-vine aroma. Why? We make it with tomato water
instead of thick tomato juice. Read the recipe to find out how. It may take a
little time, but it's well worth the effort. One of these and you will never
look at brunch the same way again.

-
3
oz. tomato water*
-
1
oz. Junior Johnson's Midnight Moon Carolina Moonshine
-
1/4
oz. lemon juice
-
1
dash Worcestershire sauce
-
2
drops Tabasco
-
1
drop liquid smoke
-
2
dashes celery salt
-
ice
-
basil
leaf, as garnish
In a mixing glass halfway filled with ice, add all the ingredients.
Stir gently until ingredients are cold. Strain into wine glass halfway filled
with fresh ice. Add basil leaf garnish. * Tomato Water: In a blender or food processor, purée tomatoes, basil, and salt.
Line a glass or ceramic bowl with 2 layers of cheesecloth. Pour purée into
bowl. Gather ends of cheesecloth and tie tightly with enough string to create a
pouch. Hang above bowl and allow to drip. Add beet slice to bowl. Allow purée
to drip into bowl for 8-12 hours. (At some point, you may have to squeeze to
release juices if not producing enough liquid.) Remove beet slice. Makes enough
tomato water for about 6 drinks.
Note:
Patience
is your best friend when it comes to making tomato water. But if you notice
that the tomato water stops dripping from the pouch hanging over the bowl, it's
time to get your hands a little dirty. Wash them first, and then gently squeeze
the pouch. This will redistribute the mash and allow the water that's remaining
to drip through.
