A thought: I’ve been trying to make the perfect Bloody Mary for about thirty years. I thought I had it down pat: vodka, fino sherry, proper tomato juice, celery salt, white pepper, Tabasco, Lea & Perrins, lemon juice, shake, double strain into ice filled half pint beer goblet, celery stick and lemon wedge garnish. It was pretty good but it took about ten minutes to make.
Then the other day I was cooking and had about twenty seconds to make a drink. Vodka, ice, a cold 150ml can of Big Tom. Twenty seconds and it’s at least as good as any longwinded combo I ever put together. Sometimes simpler really is better.
Great with gin too! 🍅
You know I tried this and wasn’t so sure
I’ll try this tonight.

Verdict: very good but a fraction too sweet. I’ll halve the sugar syrup next time.
Absolutely delicious!
