Vegan MoFo, Day 22: Tasty Drinks--Week Four!

Holy cow, week FOUR! How did this happen? This month has absolutely flown by, dontcha think?

It's Monday, so that means tasty drinks from Meatless Meals. Here's what's in store for this week that you must try.

Tomato Sauerkraut Cocktail
adapted from Meatless Meals, page 34
serves 2--supplies protective vitamins

1 cup tomato juice
4 Tbsp sauerkraut juice
black pepper

Mix together tomato and sauerkraut juices. Serve in chilled glasses or on ice. Sprinkle with black pepper.

 The verdict: Interesting taste. The two juices worked well together, though I wouldn't drink this every day. Might take some more getting used to. Also, I'm not a big fan of Bloody Mary drinks (I know, what?!?).

Next up!

DELICIOUS!!! I just ate another slice!}
