This recipe takes the concept of a traditional gazpacho recipe and turns it on its head by reinventing the cold soup as a close cousin of a bloody mary or vodka cocktail. The resulting iced vodka gazpacho recipe is a fabulous treat for yourself and friends on a balmy summers evening. Marcello Tully's chilled vodka gazpacho is a wonderful way to break the ice at your next dinner party
Method
1.
Put all the vegetables in a food processor or liquidiser and blitz to a pulp. Add all the remaining ingredients and blitz again
2.
Place the pulp into a muslin cloth and gather up the corners, then tie with a piece of string
3.
Transfer the muslin to the fridge - suspending it with a piece of string from the shelf (this will allow the liquid inside the muslin to gently seep through). Put a dish directly underneath to collect the liquid. Leave overnight
4.
Fill each shot glass by a 1/3 with water and freeze - this will keep the gazpacho cool once served and add a frosted finish to the glass
5.
Before serving, transfer the gazpacho liquid into a jug, giving it a very gentle stir. Pour some of the liquid on top of the ice in each of the shot glasses
