Greenstreet Mary Recipe

1. Rim the glass

Run the lime wedge around the rim of a highball or pint glass. Dip the rim into coarse celery salt or rim salt to coat evenly. Set the glass aside.

2. Fill the prepared glass with ice cubes and set aside while you mix the drink.

3. Build the cocktail

In a cocktail shaker (or mixing glass) add Absolut Peppar vodka, tomato juice, freshly squeezed lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, prepared horseradish, the hot sauce, green hot sauce (if using), a pinch of celery salt, and a pinch of freshly ground black pepper.

4. Combine

Fill the shaker or mixing glass with ice. Gently roll or stir the mixture for about 15–20 seconds to chill and slightly dilute. If you prefer a slightly frothier texture, give it a single vigorous shake for 5–7 seconds (tomato juice will foam).

5. Strain and serve

Strain (or pour) the cocktail into the prepared ice-filled glass. Taste and adjust seasoning: add an extra dash of hot sauce, a touch more horseradish, or another squeeze of lime if desired.

6. Garnish with a celery stalk, a lime wedge on the rim, and a pickled green bean or pickled okra if desired. Serve immediately.
