A spooky take on the classic Bloody Mary cocktail — this version uses tomatillos for a green base with manzanilla olive eyeball ice cubes. Perfect for any Halloween party.
Lindsay Manzanilla Olives Stuffed with Pimiento
Water
12 medium tomatillos, husks removed and quartered
10 yellow cherry tomatoes
2 sprigs of cilantro, stems removed
2 limes, juiced
1 clove of garlic
Pinch of salt
2 cups tomatillo base
4 oz vodka
Green hot sauce to taste
2 tsp horseradish (optional)
1 tsp celery salt
Sriracha, optional for garnish
Fill ice cube tray with water, then add 1-2 manzanilla olives to each cube. Allow to freeze overnight.
Combine all ingredients for the tomatillo base in a blender and blend until smooth. Strain through a fine mesh strainer (or retain as much of the fine pulp as you like!). Store in the fridge until ready for use.
Rim a rocks glass with lime, then with a salt/pepper/cayenne mixture (plain salt works too!). Fill with olive eyeball ice cubes. Divide cocktail between the two glasses. Option to add extra garnish with a bloody sriracha rim!
