Took a while but I finally got around to making this with fresh peeled, then blended then strained tomatoes for the juice.

Yum! Much better than expected (and I already thought it might be nice). Assuming you have a decent tomato juice the kimchi brings out the sweetness of the tomato and gives the drink a rather sophisticated aromatic character, like how you might want a robust spicy bottled scent to taste.

If you like kimchi and you like Bloody Marys you should definitely give this a try. ^
