Instructions

The Midnight Garden Mary is an innovative twist on the classic Bloody Mary, transforming it into a non-alcoholic mocktail with an unexpected savory ingredient: eggplant. This drink brings a blend of smoky and rich flavors, making it a perfect brunch accompaniment or an evening refreshment. Ingredients: - 1 small eggplant - 2 cups tomato juice - 1 tablespoon lemon juice - 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (ensure it's vegetarian for a true mocktail) - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder - A pinch of cayenne pepper - Salt to taste - Freshly ground black pepper to taste - Ice cubes - Celery stick, for garnish - Cherry tomatoes, for garnish - Lemon wedge, for garnish - Fresh parsley, for garnish Instructions: 1. Begin by roasting the eggplant. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pierce the eggplant a few times with a fork and place it on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven until the skin is charred and the interior is tender, about 25-30 minutes. Remove from the oven and let it cool. 2. Once the eggplant is cool enough to handle, peel off the charred skin and place the flesh in a blender. Blend until smooth. 3. In a large pitcher, combine the tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the pureed eggplant until well-mixed. 4. Prepare a tall glass by filling it with ice cubes. Pour the eggplant and tomato juice mixture over the ice. 5. Garnish with a celery stick, a skewer of cherry tomatoes, a wedge of lemon on the rim, and a sprig of fresh parsley. 6. Serve the Midnight Garden Mary immediately and enjoy the deep, smoky flavors and rich texture. Glass Type: Serve in a tall Collins glass to display the rich color and allow room for plentiful garnishes that add to the drink's visual appeal and flavor complexity.
