A delicious and refreshing cocktail that forgoes the beer and uses alcohol-free hop tea.
Start with the base. You can make a pitcher of it and mix the cocktail as you go. This base will work with beer or hop tea.
Mix the vegetable juice with the lime, jalapeño brine (the liquid from a can of pickled peppers), salt, lemon pepper and 1 teaspoon tajin.
Blend it together with an immersion blender and refrigerate at least three hours.
When it's time to enjoy the drink, rub the rim of a 16 oz. glass with a lime wedge, then coat it with tajin powder. Drop the lime into the glass.
Pour the glass half way up with the tomato base and top it off with some hop tea. Garnish with a lime wedge and jalapeño ring.
Put your feet up and enjoy!
