Developed as part of the UV Vodka Challenge.

Listen Now:

Greg was given four UV Vodka flavors and tasked with creating a unique bloody Mary recipe for each
Of all the UV Vodka flavors I was challenged with, I knew the UV Blue Raspberry was going to be the most challenging. This is not a flavor one normally thinks of when crafting a bloody Mary.

I could try to shoehorn this tasty berry flavor into a conventional bloody Mary. Maybe with enough spice I could “bury the berry.” Nope, instead I decided to celebrate the berry. I went to work creating a light refreshing cocktail suitable for a day out sailing. I balanced the savory properties of Sacramento tomato juice with the fresh bold flavors of grapefruit, orange, lemon, and lime and added a dash of green tea. It was fabulous….

Ingredients:

• 3 Ounces Sacramento Tomato Juice
  2 Ounces UV Blue Raspberry Vodka
  Splash of Green Tea
  1/4 wedge each; Grapefruit, Orange, Lemon, and Lime
  6 to 10 Fresh Raspberries
  Pinch of Cayenne Pepper

Instructions:

• In a stout pint glass, muddle the raspberries
  Squeeze in Grapefruit, Orange, Lemon, and Lime
  Add cayenne pepper to taste
  Add tomato juice and UV Blue vodka
  Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, pour in mixture
  Shake vigorously
  Pour back into pint glass and float green tea over top and serve.
