By SippitySup

Drink it alone or use it as a base for the best Bloody Mary you can imagine.

Ingredients

• 1 quart plain tomato juice
• 1 pound roasted cherry tomatoes
• 1 or 2 roasted chilies (Serrano,jalapeño or Thai bird) to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh squeezed lime juice

Preparation

Step 1

Combine the tomato juice, roasted cherry tomatoes, roasted peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon and lime juices in a heavy duty blender. Process until completely smooth, then working in batches push the mixture with the back of a spoon through a wire-mesh strainer into a large pitcher. Discard the solids as you work. Can be made ahead, kept covered and refrigerated, up to 10 days. Makes about 6 cups.
