  1. Divide the ingredients into 3 bowls based on their colors. The first bowl should contain red ingredients, namely tomatoes, red currant and red hot chili pepper. The second bowl should include yellow ingredients – bell pepper and ginger. The third bowl, correspondingly, should contain ingredients of green color, such as cucumber, mint and green hot chili pepper.

     

    Puree the ingredients in each bowl.  Add breadcrumbs, lemon juice, salt and black pepper. If you wish, you can also add any alcohol beverage you like or even combine these beverages. Tomatoes are compatible with whiskey, yellow bell pepper tastes great with dry white wine, while cucumbers should better be combined with dry vermouth. Adding alcohol is an optional step, which can be omitted.

  2. Leave the bowls with colorful puree in a fridge for over 2 hours. Now, you can combine them as you wish to avail different taste variations. The dishes are dense, so they will look great in glass bowls and cups. This is one of the variants I like most. I added dry breadcrumbs and shrimps here to make the dish look like soup.

Tips and Tricks for Cocktail Soup Recipe:

The secret to a perfect cocktail soup is in the quality and variety of ingredients you add. Use fresh and ripe tomatoes, sweet yellow peppers, and cucumbers to bring out the best flavors of the dish. It is also important to choose the right combination of hot peppers and spices to create a unique taste experience. Don't forget to add breadcrumbs, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mix for a perfect texture and balance of flavors.

For a unique twist, you can also add your favorite alcoholic beverage to the mix.
