Yellow Tomato Bloody Mary Mocktail

Ingredients

• 2 cups chopped ripe yellow tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon champagne vinegar
• 1 teaspoon finely minced shallot
• 1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish
• 1/4 teaspoon celery salt
• 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed between your fingers
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon finely minced serrano, seeded if desired
• 1/4 cup chilled sparkling water
• Ice
• Cucumber slices, green olives, or small feta cubes, for garnish

Directions

1. Blend the yellow tomatoes until smooth, then strain through a fine mesh sieve if you prefer a silkier drink. You should have about 1 cup of tomato juice.
2. Stir the tomato juice, lemon juice, champagne vinegar, shallot, horseradish, celery salt, oregano, black pepper, and serrano in a small pitcher or jar. Chill for at least 10 minutes so the flavors can settle.
3. Just before serving, stir in the sparkling water. Pour into ice-filled glasses and garnish with cucumber slices, olives, or feta cubes on small picks. Taste and add a little more lemon juice or celery salt if needed.
