1- 4.0 oz can Old El Paso Green Chilis, chopped (not drained or rinsed)
¾ tsp cumin
¾ tsp salt
2 tsp white vinegar
1 tablespoon tomato paste
½ tsp lime juice, bottled is fine
1 tsp garlic puree (about 2 cloves worth)
½ tsp agave syrup
V-8 Juice
Vodka (optional)
Your favorite bloody mary garnish - celery, dill pickle spear, olives, etc.
Instructions
Combine base ingredients (jalapenos through agave syrup above) in a blender and puree completely
Add the desired amount of the blended base (I use 1 Tablespoon) to a glass, then fill the glass until about ¾ full with V-8 juice. Add Vodka if desired. Mix well, add some ice cubes and serve with your favorite garnish!
Notes
I've found that jarred jalapenos can really vary in spiciness. Here are a few brands I have tried for the spice level of a medium salsa: 15 rings (0.8 oz.) Tuscan Garden, hot jalapeno rings 12 rings (0.6 oz) Mezetta Deli Style hot jalapenos 5 to 6 rings (0.35 oz.) Wal-Mart Great Value hot jalapenos
