Directions

Make berry juice: Purée berries, cucumber, parsley and Chili Lime in blender until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and chill at least 1 hour. Push through a food mill or medium-mesh sieve into a bowl, discarding solids. Add horseradish, hot sauce and lime juice. Adjust to taste with additional Chili Lime or Kosher salt.

Assemble drinks: Place Chili Lime on a small plate. Moisten outside of rim of each glass with lime wedge, then dip rim in blend. Fill each glass with ice and 1-ounce (2 tablespoons) vodka, then top with about 2/3 cup berry juice.
