Cucumber Shots Recipe

How to make it

---

• Peel each cucumber
• Cut cucumbers in 2 to 2 1/2 inch pieces cutting across the cucumner. Don't use the ends, the pieces will be too small around.
• Scoop the seed centers out of the cucumbers being careful to not go all the way through. You are making little cups, you need the bottom intact.
• If cucumbers walls are too thick, scoop more out of the center or carefully, with a peeler, make the walls a little thinner.
• Stand cucumber pieces in a plate large enough to hold all.
• Look across the top of the cucumbetrs and make sure all the pieces are exactly the same level.
• In a large measuring cup pour the tomato juice, V8 or Bloody Mary mix, which ever you are using.
• Pour in the beef broth and stir. Taste; Add whatever seasonings you want to make it as hot, spicy or mild as you want.
• If you are using spicy V8 or spicy Bloody Mary mix, it may be hot and spicy enough so be sure and taste.
• Carefully fill each cucumber section with the juice being careful to get completely full but not spilled n the cucumber.
• Garnish with celery leaves here and there and serve. If it will be a while, cover and refrigerate until served.
• Instead of using juice, you can also fill the cucumbers with cheeses, dips, spreads, what ever sounds good.
