Recipes below.I ForgotoTwo small scoops Vanilla Ice Cream1 shot Espresso3/4 oz Over proof rumAdd the ice cream to a coffee mug or small bowl. Pour the espresso over the ice cream followed by the rum. Eat with a spoon. Or chug it. Whatever. Bloody Cardinal2 oz vodka4 oz Clamato3/4 oz fresh lemon juice2 1/2 tsp prepared horseradish2 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce2–3 dashes Tabasco or another vinegar-forward hot sauce1/4 tsp celery salt1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepperSmall pinch smoked paprikaOptional: 1/4 tsp Dijon mustardOptional: 1 tsp pickle brine for a little extra savory biteAdd everything to a shaker or mixing glass with ice. Instead of shaking, roll it back and forth between two glasses or shaker tins about 5 or 6 times to get it cold without beating too much air into the tomato juice. Pour over fresh ice in a tall glass. A celery-salt rim is great, or do half celery salt / half Tajín if you want a little more personality. Garnish with lemon slices or celery stalk. A tajin or celery-salted rim is also appropriate.#doitforwilson
