I am posting this here because I had lost the recipe for ages and finally found it in my email. I had sent it to myself because I knew I would lose it. So here it is! It is very easy and so YUMMY! * Please note, the tomato juice is a 1.36 Litre can for my fellow Canadians. Recipezaar refused to let me write that in the recipe!
