Directions

60 min.
1. Step

Begin by chopping the tomatoes into rough chunks – it doesn’t have to be anything neat, as you'll be straining the mixture later. Season with the sea salt and mix it well, the salt helps in extracting the juice from the tomatoes.

2. Step

Next, transfer these chunks into the cheesecloth or strainer set over a large bowl. Make sure to place it in the fridge, allowing it to stand and drip naturally. Never squeeze the cloth or rush the draining process – patience is key here! It usually takes about 3-5 hours but can even be left overnight for a stronger flavor.

3. Step

When you check back, you'll discover a clear, lightly tinted liquid in the bowl. That's your tomato water. Make sure to discard the leftover tomato pulp or use it for other recipes, let's not waste good food.

4. Step

Store your tomato water in an airtight bottle in the fridge. It will keep for around one week and you can use it in various dishes to add that extra tomato kick.

Chai Frozen Milkshakes

Indian spiced tea—masala chai—has a lovely delicacy and a fortifying strength. We harnessed both qualities for these refreshing milkshakes that should help you get through the muggiest summer afternoon. Chai tea bags are handy, but we suggest making your own sachet, using cheesecloth and a good-quality masala chai, a blend of loose-leaf black tea with whole spices such as cardamom pods, cloves, fennel seeds, black peppercorns, cinnamon, and dried ginger.

Funfetti Cake Milkshake

Yay, cake with rainbow-colored sprinkles! It’s like birthday in a cup anytime you want to celebrate that it’s, well, a Tuesday. You know what would go great before this totally rad milkshake? Another simple delight: Pizza Dough Dogs. Or if we’re going all carnival-style, Corn Dogs.

Ginger Bloody Mary

Here’s a head-clearing daytime cocktail with a double dose of ginger. First, make our Ginger-Infused Vodka (it needs to infuse at least overnight, preferably longer, so plan accordingly). Then slip a couple of ounces of it in a cocktail shaker, along with tomato juice, fresh horseradish, Worcestershire, Tabasco, lime juice, the usual battery of Bloody Mary spices, and—and here’s what makes this Bloody really remarkable—another hit of ginger, in the form of freshly grated root.

Extra-Spicy Bloody Maria

The ultimate hangover cocktail, a good Bloody Mary makes everything better. We’ve switched it up with tequila, pickled jalapeños, and an eye-opening dose of cayenne pepper. What to buy: Buy whole pickled jalapeños from a well-stocked market or Latin grocery, or make your own.

How to make your own Buttermilk

If you want homemade buttermilk, this recipe is for you! Learn how from scratch, using only plain milk and one other ingredient.

Almost Arnie

During his glory days, golfer Arnold Palmer drank a blend of iced tea and lemonade, a drink that became known, aptly, as the Arnold Palmer. This spiked version given to us by author and former Gramercy Tavern managing partner Nick Mautone substitutes citrus-flavored rum and limoncello, an Italian lemon liqueur, for the lemonade. What to buy: If you don’t have citrus-flavored rum, you can use unflavored light rum, add freshly squeezed lemon juice and lime juice as desired.

Cranberry-Apple Shrub

Shrubs, a.k.a. drinking vinegars, were popular in Colonial America. At their most basic, shrubs are infusions of fruit in vinegar, sweetened to soften the tart edges. This one combines two quintessentially autumnal fruits—apples and cranberries—in a shrub that can be used as the base for various celebratory drinks. Game plan: Use this to make a refreshing, nonalcoholic Cranberry Shrub Spritz. For something stiffer, try a Rum-Cranberry Shrub Cocktail.
