Ingredients

  • 2 large seedless cucumbers (usually plastic-wrapped; 2 lb total), peeled and coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon drained bottled horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon green Tabasco sauce
  • 3/4 cup vodka (6 fluid ounces)
  • Garnish: 6 small pale inner celery ribs with leaves, halved lengthwise if desired

Preparation

Step 1

Purée all ingredients in a blender until very smooth, about 1 minute. Force through a fine-mesh sieve set into a bowl, discarding solids. (You will have about 3 3/4 cups liquid.)
Serve drinks over ice in small glasses.
