OSU Virgin Mary

Serves: 2 Time: Under 30 minutes

If you had one too many sips of sake last night, this is the drink for you. If you’ve completed a 10k run, yoga session and a gong bath all before 8am this morning, this is also the drink for you. This unique approach to the classic Virgin Mary drink features a vegetal tomato juice balanced with Japanese citrus and your daily dose of OSU Apple Cider Vinegar. It is a delicious and refreshing way to start any kind of day.

Ingredients

2 tbsp agave syrup
2 tbsp togarashi or mild chilli powder
300ml good quality tomato juice
2 tbsp OSU Original
1 tbsp Ponzu sauce (or lime juice)
2 slices of pickled ginger to garnish

Method

Pour the agave onto a small flat plate and place an upturned glass into the syrup, evenly coating the rim. Next, dip the glasses into the togarashi or chilli powder so that it sticks to the agave. Repeat with the second glass.
Fill the glasses with ice and pour the tomato juice over, then add the OSU Apple Cider Vinegar and ponzu sauce. Stir to combine and top with a pickled ginger garnish.
