Tomato-Beer Cooler
"Sounds odd, but trust me, it is AWESOME!! My grandfather used to drink this all the time, and when I was little, he would always let me have a sip. Still love it to this day!! Hey, I figure if you're gonna drink beer, might as well sneak in one or two of those "Five-A-Day"!!"

Love this!! I did try lime salt and found it was also good instead of the salt and pepper. I also used celery for the stirrer. I'm a big fan of bloody mary's and this is another drink to add to my list. -
I love red beer:) I use either plain tomato juice or one of the V8 variations, a sprinkle of lemon pepper or Morton's Nature's Seasoning. Haven't made it with hot sauce yet. I tend to drink a few less drinks if I have this because the tomato juice tends to be a bit filling:) -
We call these red beers, and they are a staple at our local pub. Try a little Montreal Steak Seasoning instead of plain salt and pepper, if you want a bit more kick. -
Where I come from, we call this a Red-Eye. My husband looooves them as a hangover cure. Hair of the dog and all that. I think they're gross, but I don't like tomato juice either :) -
Beer purists may sneer, but as disgusting as it sounds, this is very like a Bloody Mary, but lighter. A dash of Tabasco adds character. It's really quite good. Try it.

I am a single gal, living on my own; currently working as an Occupational Therapist & living in Cumberland, MD. (It is "God's Country" out here...beautiful!) I LOVE to cook and bake, and love anything that looks, tastes, smells, or even closely resembles a veggie. I LOVE moo-cows, and therefore, cannot bring myself to eat any part of the adorable critters (i.e. NO RED MEAT!!)
I love the outdoors, and pride myself on being the master griller on the fire pit.
My mother's side of the family is 100% Polish, so I have an inborn passion for cooking...unfortunately, along with that comes a love of eating, too!! But, hey..u only live once, so I say "EAT, DRINK, and BE MERRY!!!"
