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

　　

Ingredients

8 servings

　　

For the tomato juice:

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

　　

For the cocktails:

8 ounces vodka

　　1 pint Sun Gold tomatoes

　　8 small celery stalks with leaves

　　Tabasco sauce (for serving)

　　

Make the tomato juice:

Step 1

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.

　　

Step 2

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:

Step 3

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.
