Chop watercress, peppers, onion, carrot and celery very fine (this is best done by hand, rather than in a food processor or blender.) Peel and seed cucumbers and chop very fine. Peel and seed tomatoes, reserving juice and seeds, and chop very fine. Mix all the vegetables together in a large bowl.

- Step 3
Serve in mugs with spoons, and garnish, if desired, with frozen lemon-pepper vodka (see recipe). Provide lemon wedges and a pepper grinder for nondrinkers.
Tip
- If gazpacho is left over after the clambake, combine it with chopped leftover clams for a fine cold soup for lunch the next day.
