Hot Tomato Cocktails

Tequila is optional – the tomato drink on its own is great tasting and loaded
with vitamins A and C.

     One 28-ounce can diced tomatoes
          (or two 14.5-ounce cans), not drained
     One 8-ounce box or bottle orange juice (1 cup)
     One 4-ounce can diced green chilies, drained
     1/4 cup bottled lime juice

2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon salt

optional: Tequila – about 1 shot per serving

Combine ingredients from tomatoes through salt in a blender and process until smooth.

If using Tequila, for each serving use 1/2 cup tomato mixture and 2-4 tablespoons of Tequila. You may want to serve the Tequila in separate shot glasses on the side.

Serves 8-10
