Method

step 1

Put the vodka substitute or vinegar ‘shrub’, chilli, sugar and lemon peel in a clean jam jar and shake until the sugar dissolves. Leave for 6 hours or overnight if you can.
step 2

Put a handful of ice into a jug, and pour over the infused lemon chilli shrub. Add the lemon juice, tomato juice, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and a pinch of celery salt, pepper and sea salt. Mix well. Add more vinegar to taste, and add more salt, pepper, and sauces if you like.
step 3

Rub the lemon wedge around the rim of two tall glasses. Mix the remaining salts and white pepper onto a plate and run the rim around for it to stick on.
step 4

Add a few ice cubes to each glass, and strain into the glasses, serve with a celery stick, and a cherry tomato skewer to serve with your optional garnishes.
