[Ed. note 7/15/08. This recipe, I found, leaves you with a brew too thick to drink as a cocktail. But it makes a fabulous cold soup -- a Bloody Mary inflected gazpacho, thanks to the horseradish and Worcestershire. Just add a shot of vodka to each bowl before you serve it. Plus lots more lime and a few extra pinches of salt. I had a similar Mexican tomato soup with tequila once, and the liquor gives it a nice edge. Or you could imbibe it as pre-dinner shooters].
A little Monday morning hair of the dog? Sounds like a total pain in the ass to make, sort of like an 80-proof gazpacho, but I sure would love to have somebody mix one or two of these babies for me. Like now. - Gail Shepherd
