Gazpacho Cocktail (Non-Alcoholic)

If you can make a cold soup out of it, why not put it in a glass and drink it with a straw? It only makes sense with the Bloody Mary culture out there that a drink like this exists.

Gazpacho is different from Bloody Mary in that it is less savory and more juicy. It is a cold soup, with spices that shouldn't overwhelm the senses. Some of the main differences between this non-alcoholic drink and a standard Bloody Mary without the vodka include garlic, oregano, scallions and avocado.

• 6 oz. tomato juice
• 1 oz. lemon juice
• 2 cucumber slices chopped
• 1 scallion (the white part only)
• 1/2 tsp. dried oregano
• 3-5 dashes Tabasco sauce
•  black pepper to taste
• salt to taste
• cucumber slice
• avocado slice

Combine all ingredients except cucumber and avocado slices in a blender with ice. Blend until smooth and pour into a chilled Collins glass. Garnish with the cucumber and avocado slices.
