Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups tomato juice, chilled
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (vegan as desired)
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon celery salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup (8 ounces) vodka, chilled
Ice, for serving (try clear ice!)
For the rim: Old Bay seasoning (purchased or homemade) and kosher salt
For the garnish: celery stalk, lemon wedge, olive, cocktail onion (use cocktail picks if desired)

Steps:

  • If time allows, chill the tomato juice and vodka. Shake the tomato juice before pouring.
  • In a large cocktail shaker, combine the tomato juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, Tabasco, celery salt and black pepper. Shake well to combine (without ice). Strain into a quart mason jar or small pitcher.
  • Optional: If time, chill at least 1 hour or overnight for the best flavor. (Or, make ahead and store up to 1 week.) But you also can serve right away!
  • To serve, on a plate place a mixture of roughly half kosher salt and half Old Bay seasoning (or celery salt). Cut a notch in a lemon wedge, then run it around the rim of a glass. Dip the edge of the rim into a plate of salt.
  • To each glass, add 2 ounces (1/4 cup) of vodka and 1/2 cup of Bloody Mary mix and stir gently to combine. Fill the glass with ice and add the garnishes.
