A LITTLE CEREMONY
The method.
Prepare your glass
Set out a clean highball glass for each serving. Add 120 g of fresh cubed ice to each glass just before pouring.
Measure, then stir
Measure one serving of vodka, tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, celery salt, and black pepper into a mixing glass. Add 180 g cubed ice and gently roll with a bar spoon for 20 seconds. Repeat with fresh mixing ice for each serving.
Stir smoothly
Move the spoon around the inside of the glass so the ice turns as a group. Follow the recipe’s time or cold-glass cue. Use the stated strainer if the mixing ice stays behind.
Strain with care
Hold the ice back with a strainer and pour into the prepared highball glass.
The finishing touch
Add the measured celery stalk and lemon wedge. The listed seasoning is the exact house dose; adjust only after tasting.
