Double Red Eye
Author Notes: The Red Eye - tomato juice, vodka and beer. I've jazzed this one up to make it extra spicy. Follow the cube part of the recipe to a T, but if you can't handle the heat, cut back on the hot sauce. - inpatskitchen
Makes four 10 to 12 ounce glasses
For the cubes( enough for 4 glasses)
- 1 12 ounce can V8 Juice
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cholula hot sauce
- Mix all ingredients together and pour mixture into an ice cube tray and freeze.
For 2 glasses
- 1 double shot vodka
- 6 ounces beer
- 6 ounces V8 Juice
- 7 of the cubes
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Cholula ( or less)
- Celery salt for rimming the glass (optional)
- Fresh lime juice (optional)
- Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until slushy. Pour into 2 glasses. If you like lime, stir in about a teaspoon per glass. Or if you like ,mix all ingredients except the cubes and then pour over a few cubes for each drink. Repeat for next two drinks.

PS One of these days I'm going to post my recipe for homemade tomato juice. I think it might work well for this recipe. It's sweeter and less complex in flavor than V8, but still might create a good version.

Thanks....spicy enough for me but Tom had to bring the heat down (he'd rather have vodka and tomato juice naked!)
