Ingredients

For the Gilda Garnish

  • 1 green olive
  • 1 pickled guindilla or pepperoncini pepper
  • 1 oil-packed anchovy

For the Spiced Salt Rim

For the Bloody Mary

  • 4 ounces tomato juice (120ml)
  • 1 ounce lemon juice (30ml)
  • 1/2 ounce olive brine (15ml)
  • 1 teaspoon harissa paste
  • 2 ounces vodka (60ml)

Instructions

  • Make the gilda garnish. Use a cocktail pick to skewer the olive, pickled pepper, and anchovy. Set aside.
  • Salt the rim of the glass. In a small plate or shallow bowl, combine the salt, paprika, and cumin. Rub the lemon wedge around the rim of a tall glass and dip the rim into the salt. Fill the glass with ice.
  • Mix the cocktail. To a mixing or pint glass, add the tomato juice, lemon juice, olive brine, harissa paste, vodka, and ice. Slowly pour the mixture into another mixing or pint glass and then back into the original container. Repeat 4 or 5 times until the mixture is combined and thoroughly chilled. Strain the mixture into the prepared glass and garnish with the gilda. Serve immediately.
