One can of V8 vegetable juice, this is basically tomato juice with some other bits in it, you could use tomato juice but this fella will make you look slightly more clued up and if your flying solo one can is the perfect amount. On to the business end, vodka! Smirnoff red is alright or if you want a stronger drink upgrade to the blue. Avoid a vodka with to strong a taste such as Absolute as this will fight with the other ingredients and cause no end of problems You could add dry sherry, this is optional but will make you look mildly urbane and interesting Bryan Ferry would use it... probably. Now to spice it up, first you'll need Tabasco and Worcester sauce. you'll should have these in your cupboard unless you're some sort of odd ball or a vegan or something, ground black pepper, rock salt and fresh lemon juice. not the little plastic squirters please, and then the fun part a stick of celery!
How to do it
Find yourself a good chunky glass big enough to hold the can of V8 plus all the other boys, put in two or three ice cubes, the vodka, you'll need one large measure of vodka, two cap-fulls will do, a few dashes of Worcester and Tabasco, a squeeze of lemon, a pinch of salt and a little pepper, and a small dash of the sherry Bryan. Top up with the V8 then pour the whole lot into another glass or jug then back again (you don't want to shake this bad-boy as you don't want it too cold) Next cut the base and the tip of the celery into a point and stick it in the glass, slice a piece of lemon and float on top of the glass and top with some black pepper, stick in a couple of straws and you're away!
