Dirty Mary Martini

Ingredients

1 Tbs pistachio dukkah
1 lemon wedge
2 cups (500mL) chilled tomato juice
1/2 cup (125mL) chilled vodka
2 Tbs lemon juice
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Tabasco sauce
4 celery sticks

Garnish:

2 bacon rashers, halved lengthways
4 pickled onions
4 stuffed green olives
4 cornichons

Method

Place the dukkah on a small plate. Run the lemon wedge around the rim of each serving glass. Dip in the dukkah to lightly coat.

Combine the tomato juice, vodka, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco sauce in a large jug. Pour evenly among the glasses.

To make the garnish, heat a small frying pan over medium heat. Roll up the bacon pieces and secure with toothpicks. Cook, turning, for 5 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Remove toothpicks. Thread onto 4 skewers with onions, olives and cornichons.

Top glasses with garnish and celery.
