Bloody Mary sorbet



Ingredients

75 g (3 oz) caster sugar
600 ml (1 pt) tomato juice
3 tbsp vodka
Juice of 1 lime
1 tbsp Tabasco® Red Pepper Sauce 
Celery sprigs to serve


Place sugar in a heavy-based pan with 75 ml (3 fl oz) water and simmer until syrupy. Cool completely. Mix syrup with tomato juice, vodka, lime juice and Tabasco® Red Pepper Sauce. Pour mix into a freeze-proof container and freeze for two hours, or until partially frozen. Remove tomato mix from freezer and whizz in a food processor until smooth. Return to freezer container. Freeze. You may need to blend again to achieve a really smooth texture, or you can eat this sorbet slightly grainy as a granita.

Remove sorbet from freezer 15 minutes before serving. Scoop into chilled cocktail glasses and serve with sprigs of celery.
