Ingredients
- 80 ml tomato juice
- 25 ml basil syrup
- 15 ml cucumber syrup
- 15 ml winter spice syrup
- 40 ml lime juice
- 4–5 dashes of Tabasco
- Salt & pepper
- Ice
Method
- Prepare your shaker
Fill it with ice to keep your drink chilled. - Add the main ingredients
- Pour in 80 ml tomato juice.
- Add 25 ml basil syrup, 15 ml cucumber syrup, and 15 ml winter spice syrup.
- Top it off with 40 ml lime juice for freshness and zest.
- Spice it up

Instead of a hard shake, roll the mixture (pouring it back and forth between shakers). This gently blends the flavors without over-diluting or breaking the texture. - Serve & garnish
Strain into a glass filled with fresh ice. Garnish with a sprig of basil or a thin slice of cucumber for that extra aromatic touch.
Tips & Serving Ideas
- Prefer a milder taste? Reduce the Tabasco to 2–3 dashes.
- For a brunch-style presentation, serve it in a highball glass with a salted rim.
- This mocktail pairs wonderfully with light bites like tomato bruschetta or avocado crackers.
