When my husband was in college he liked a drink called Snappy Tom. It was a drink he craved. Unfortunately, it is no longer available in stores. A while back when he had one of his Snappy Tom cravings, I decided to see if I could come up with my own version. I wasn’t successful in mimicking the flavor but kind of stumbled onto my own recipe that he likes just as well. It doesn’t taste at all like Snappy Tom, but it’s now the drink he craves. 🙂

There is no alcohol in this recipe, neither my husband nor I drink alcohol of any sort. There is however quite a bit of spice in this, so it’s not for the faint of heart. 🙂

The recipe is very simple. You will need:

8 oz. tomato sauce

1/2 cup water

1 Tbsp lemon juice

1 tsp lime juice

1 1/2 tsp soy sauce

1 tsp Tabasco

1 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp salt

Simply mix everything together. It can be served warm or cold.
