Tomato Juice
Tomato Juice is a refreshing drink made from ripe tomatoes blended at high speed with a touch of ketchup, water and celery salt, served over ice cubes. The Thermomix TM7 turns whole tomatoes into a silky, restaurant-quality juice in about a minute, capturing all the fresh flavour without a juicer or sieve.
About this recipe
Tomato Juice Thermomix TM7 is the ultimate fresh drink recipe for anyone who loves the bright, savoury taste of ripe tomatoes. Instead of buying carton juice loaded with preservatives, you simply place whole tomatoes in the mixing bowl and let this all-in-one kitchen machine blend them at top speed until every skin and seed is completely pulverised into a silky, drinkable juice. A spoonful of ketchup adds gentle sweetness and body, while celery salt gives that classic bar-style seasoning so beloved in a Bloody Mary. Water loosens the blend to the perfect sipping consistency, and ice cubes keep the glass refreshingly cold. This quick drink works beautifully at summer barbecues, weekend brunches or as a low-calorie afternoon pick-me-up. With recipes this simple, the TM7 proves that homemade drinks can taste dramatically better than shop-bought versions, and clean-up takes barely a minute thanks to the self-cleaning mixing bowl.
Preparation tips
- Choose very ripe, aromatic tomatoes for the deepest flavour: plum or vine tomatoes give a naturally sweet juice, while pale winter tomatoes can taste flat, so add an extra pinch of celery salt to compensate.
- For a completely smooth drinking experience, pour the blended tomato mixture through a fine sieve before serving over ice cubes; this removes the last seed fragments and skins for a bar-quality juice.
- Chill the tomatoes and the serving glasses in the fridge beforehand so the juice stays icy cold without over-diluting it with ice cubes; a wedge of lemon on the rim adds a fresh finishing touch.
Recipe variations
- Spicy Virgin Mary: after blending the tomatoes, add a few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, a splash of hot sauce and extra celery salt, then serve over ice cubes with a celery stick for a festive alcohol-free cocktail.
- Summer garden version: blend the tomatoes with half a cucumber and a small red pepper for a fresher, lighter gazpacho-style juice, served well chilled with a basil leaf as garnish.
