Conventionally most tomato veggie cocktails feature a red hue but not this one prepared by food blog Epicurious that cleverly remakes the popular drink with yellow tomatoes calling it a Golden Sunset. This refreshing cocktail is filled with delicious savory ingredients and spices making it an ideal drink for anyone looking for a filling beverage.
The Golden Sunset begins by making homemade yellow tomato juice from fresh ingredients such as quartered Sun Gold tomatoes, salt, horseradish, lemon juice, pickle juice, Old Bay seasoning and pepper. The ingredients are pureed together, strained and chilled to allow the flavors to marinate. The cocktail is then created by adding the homemade yellow tomato juice to vodka followed by a garnish of more Sun Gold tomatoes, celery stalks and hot sauce.
