I've recently experimented with variants on the bloody mary. I've got two promising results:
Mexican Bloody Mary
- Vodka
- Tomato juice
- 1/4 tablespoon cumin
- dash of smoked paprika
- tobasco sauce
- dash of lime
- slice of avocado
This worked fairly well. The vodka taste actually comes across as a bit odd, so you might want to use less vodka than in a normal bloody mary.
Japanese Bloody Mary
- vodka
- tomato juice
- 1g wasabi Aproximate. Use about twice as much as you'd put in a normal california roll
- 3 edamame
Put in the wasabi first, then slowly add vokda, bit by bit, stirring until the wasabi is fully mixed. Otherwise you'll just have a green clup of surprise in the glass.
Note: for some, the wasabi spice comes across as the wrong kind, so optionally add a few drops of tobasco to even it out.
