The best gazpachos are a little bit like summer itself…unexpected, colorful, and impossible to rush. This one begins with the familiar comfort of a Bloody Mary and surprises you with the sweetness of mango, the heat of jalapeño, and the brightness of lime. A splash of vodka doesn’t hurt either. Recipe below and in my Substack at lenorenolanryan BLOODY MARYS FOR THE CHEF AND THE GAZPACHO: (Makes 2) 2 cups Organic @Agalima Bloody Mary Mix 4 ounces Durty Girl Vodka 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice 1 teaspoon prepared horseradish, or to taste Several dashes Tabasco Freshly cracked black pepper Ice Lime wheel garnish Pour the Bloody Mary mix, vodka, lime juice, horseradish, Tabasco and black pepper into a small pitcher.
