Provided by Sonja Overhiser

Categories     Drink

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.

BLOODY MARY MIX



Bloody Mary Mix image

We've made hundreds of thousands of bloody Marys over the decades at Prune, with 11 variations, and this classic base mix has been the stalwart, gleaming engine of them all. The lemon juice is what makes it so bright and zingy, and the Sacramento brand tomato juice is clean, with perfect body, never muddy or thick. Prepared horseradish keeps its bite and moisture just about forever, whereas fresh grated horseradish loses its potency almost immediately, leaving dead bits of pencil shavings in the glass instead - so resist the urge to "improve" the recipe. Worcestershire sauce adds greater depth to the umami already inherent in tomato, and the Tabasco brand hot-pepper sauce brings vibrancy with its high acidity but very manageable heat. This bloody Mary is as refreshing as a virgin affair as it is when spiked and garnished.
