Tomato Horseradish Sunday Glass

Horseradish gives tomato and celery a sharp, savory kick without relying on a lot of hot sauce. Lemon keeps the flavor clear, while a small amount of sparkling water makes it feel lighter than a thick vegetable cocktail. Stir the horseradish into the tomato juice thoroughly before adding the bubbles. Check whether your juices are already salted. This is a full-flavored option for a leisurely lunch or savory snack, with a finish that's brisk rather than sweet.

Ingredients

• 5 oz Sparkling water
• 4 oz Tomato juice
• 1 1/2 oz Celery juice
• 1/8 tsp Prepared horseradish
• 1/4 oz Lemon juice

Make it

1. Prepare the fruit and herbs as listed. Mash soft fruit to release juice; lightly press herbs or thin ginger slices without shredding them.
2. Add the still juices and stir. Strain out seeds, skins or herb pieces if you prefer a smoother texture.
3. Pour in the chilled sparkling water slowly and stir once. Serve immediately, with ice if you like.

Benefits

Tomato · a little vitamin C

Beside celery, peppery spice, and lemon, tomato offers a little vitamin C, used by your body for normal immune function, as well as a savory, juicy base.

A sparkling setting for lemon

Pairing lemon with tomato, celery, and peppery spice puts a clean citrus sharpness into a fizzy glass, with bubbles making the texture part of the pleasure.
