Ingredients
Ice
4 ounces Tomato juice
2 ounces Water
1 teaspoon Harissa
1 teaspoon Balsamic vinegar
½ ounce Fresh lime juice
Salt
Freshly ground pepper
3 Cherry tomatoes, halved
Directions
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
Pour the tomato juice and water into a mixing vessel and whisk together with the harissa and 1 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar until the harissa is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
Stir in the fresh lime juice, then taste and adjust seasoning with salt and freshly ground pepper as desired.
Pour the mixture into the ice-filled glass.
Give the drink a splash of balsamic vinegar for garnish and stir gently.
Float the halved cherry tomatoes on top or add them to the glass and serve immediately.
Comments
Harissa is the real catch here—it's not stocked at most Harris Teeter or Food Lion locations, so expect a trip to Kroger's international aisle or ALDI if they have it in stock that week. The rest of the ingredients are straightforward and cheap: tomato juice and cherry tomatoes run under $2 total, and most pantries already hold balsamic vinegar, lime, and salt. The five-minute claim is honest for a drink, though you'll want harissa paste on hand beforehand. This is a single-serving cocktail that doesn't travel well once mixed, so it's a same-night pour, but the flavour twist on a Bloody Mary is genuine and worth the harissa stop if you're already hitting Kroger.
