    Summary

    This Bloody Mary ditches traditional bottled tomato juice for the freshly pressed stuff made from Sun Gold or yellow tomatoes.

    Ingredients

    4 pounds yellow or Sun Gold tomatoes, quartered, halved if small

    1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt

    1 cup dill pickle juice

    1/4 cup fresh lemon juice

    1 tablespoon finely grated fresh horseradish or prepared horseradish

    2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

    1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

    1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning

    3 dashes Tabasco sauce

    8 ounces vodka

    1 pint Sun Gold tomatoes

    8 small celery stalks with leaves

    Tabasco sauce (for serving)

    Instructions

    PreparationMake the tomato juice: Purée yellow tomatoes and salt in a food processor, in batches if needed, until smooth. Transfer to a large pitcher, cover, and chill at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours. Strain mixture through a food mill or medium-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing on solids to extract as much liquid as possible (you'll have about 5 cups juice); discard solids. Skim off and discard foam. Add pickle juice, lemon juice, horseradish, Worcestershire, pepper, Old Bay, and Tabasco; stir to combine. Chill until ready to serve. Assemble the cocktails: Stir tomato juice just to combine. Fill each glass with ice and 1 oz. vodka, then top off with about 2/3 cup juice. Garnish each with Sun Gold tomatoes and 1 celery stalk and serve with Tabasco alongside.
