No reviews

This harissa bloody mary adds some Middle Eastern spice to Sunday morning cocktails.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4-6

Ingredients

Units
  • 2 cups tomato juice (you can also substitute for fresh tomatoes when in season)
  • ¼ cup harissa such as NY Shuk Preserved Lemon Harissa (or NY Shuk Signature Harissa)
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 3 Tbsp preserved lemon, finely chopped to a paste (don't worry if you get few bigger pieces in there) Note: Preserved lemon can be found at specialty food stores and some Trader Joe's stores.
  • 2 Tbsp olive brine
  • cup vodka
  • pinch of salt (according to how salty the preserved lemon, and your taste, you might need more)
  • celery stalk for serving

Instructions

  1. Combine the tomato juice, Harissa, Worcestershire sauce, preserved lemon, olive brine and vodka together. Taste it and adjust seasoning to your taste (see notes above).
  2. Garnish with the celery stalk and serve chilled.

Notes

  • If you like your Bloody Mary really spicy, add more harissa.
  • If you like your Bloody Mary a bit on the saltier side, add a pinch more salt or celery salt.
  • If you like your cocktails more on the sour side, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
  • And if you like a more classic Bloody Mary, add 1 teaspoon of jarred, prepared horseradish.
