  4. Grind the remaining ingredients and press.

  5. Mix the salt into the juice.

Pro tips

  • You can remove the lemon and salt to make a 4 ingredient juice if necessary, but these ingredients help the flavor.

  • Celery salt is a nice substitute for salt in this one, if you’re into that.

  • Feel free to experiment! Add jalapeno, black pepper, cayenne pepper or even hot sauce/Tobasco if you like a little kick. Bell peppers could be an enjoyable addition too. If it goes well with tomato, it will probably taste good in this juice.

  • Add vodka for an unconventional bloody mary!
