Yield

Serves: 1

Preparation

For the tomato base, grate the tomatoes using the coarse side of a box grater into a mixing bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients to the bowl and let sit for 3 hours. Reserve.

Combine all ingredients for the horseradish in a blender. Purée until very smooth. Add more water if necessary; it should be just covered with liquid. Taste for seasoning—it should taste very strong.

Mix the cocktail ingredients together and pour over ice. Serve with garnishes.
