Directions

Combine all the ingredients together in a blender and blitz for a minute to combine them. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve to remove as many air bubbles as possible.
There are two techniques that can now be used to make the spheres - a frozen and a non-frozen.

For the frozen method

Freeze the Bloody Mary liquid in small hemisphere moulds.
Now heat the Sodium Alginate bath (see Sodium Alginate Bath Recipe) to 50°C.
Add the frozen hemispheres into the Alginate Bath a couple at a time, stirring carefully for one minute. Then remove and refresh in cold water.

Non-frozen

Place small spoonful’s of the Bloody Mary mixture into an alginate bath (see Sodium Alginate Bath Recipe). Let the spheres react for approx 30 seconds then remove them with a slotted spoon and refresh in cold water. Garnish the sphere with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately.
