Ingredients:

  • 60ml London Dry Gin
  • 120ml premium tomato juice
  • 15ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 dashes Tabasco sauce
  • 1/4 tsp horseradish
  • 1 pinch celery salt
  • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 large celery stalk
  • 1 lemon wedge
  • 2 green olives

Instructions:

  1. Chill your glassware. Place your highball glass in the freezer for 10 minutes. Note: This keeps the drink from melting the ice too quickly.
  2. Rim the glass. Rub a lemon wedge around the top of the chilled glass and dip it into a mix of celery salt and black pepper until a thick crust forms.
  3. Measure the gin. Pour 60ml London Dry Gin into your mixing tin. Note: Gin is the backbone here, so don't be shy.
  4. Add the savory base. Pour in 120ml premium tomato juice and 15ml freshly squeezed lemon juice.
  5. Season the mix. Add 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce, 2 dashes Tabasco sauce, and 1/4 tsp horseradish until the aroma becomes pungent and spicy.
  6. Add the dry spices. Toss in a pinch of celery salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  7. The Roll. Add ice to one tin and gently pour the mixture back and forth between two tins about 6 or 7 times until the tin feels frosty to the touch.
  8. Strain and pour. Fill your rimmed glass with fresh ice and strain the mixture over it.
  9. Final garnish. Thread 2 green olives onto a pick and place it across the rim with a large celery stalk and a lemon wedge until the presentation looks balanced and lush.
