Tokyo Mary

Ingredients

• 2 tsp wasabi paste
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 400ml tomato juice
• 2 tbsp lime juice
• 2 tsp mirin or sherry
• 2 tsp liquid from a jar of sushi ginger
• 100ml vodka
• 2 sticks of celery, to serve (optional)
• 2 thin slices of sushi ginger, to serve (optional)

Step by step

1. In a cocktail shaker or a large lidded jar, use a spoon to mix together the wasabi paste and soy sauce until you have a thin paste. Add the tomato juice, lime juice, mirin, pickled ginger liquid, vodka and ice. Seal and give it a really good shake to mix together all the ingredients, then add a pinch of salt to taste and a good amount of black pepper.
2. Shake again until well chilled, then pour into two highball glasses with the ice. Garnish both glasses with a piece of sushi ginger and a stick of celery, if you like.
