Spicy Tomato Juice

Tomato juice sure is healthy, but it can be pretty plain. It’s a good thing, then, that tomato and fiery flavors go so well together. In this spicy tomato juice recipe, we use cayenne pepper powder – an easy get from most any spice rack. Though, if you have fresh jalapeño pepper handy, you can certainly use it instead.

Spicy tomato juice – perfect as-is or as a delicious Bloody Mary base

It’ll add a spark to that tomato juice that really brings it to life. We especially like it with cooked fresh tomatoes – instead of store-bought tomato juice – for a really delicious spicy Bloody Mary.

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, bring water to a boil (about half filled), then add the tomatoes whole. Allow them to sit in the boiling water for 30 seconds, then remove and immediately peel the skin off the tomatoes.
  • Quarter the tomatoes, then place them, along with the other ingredients in a juice blender (or bowl, if no juice blender and are using a hand blender). 
  • Blend the ingredients into juice form, then pour into cups and enjoy.

Notes

Instead of cayenne, you can use a fresh jalapeño pepper. Simply remove the seeds and stem, then roughly chop the pepper and add the chili during the blending process. Use half a pepper to start, then ramp up from there.
