The Bloody Mary is a classic brunch cocktail and a staple of many a weekend gathering. This version is a shaken Bloody Mary, which gives it a lighter, frothier texture than the traditional stirred version. We also use a homemade Bloody Mary mix, which gives you more control over the flavor and allows you to customize it to your liking. Finally, we garnish our Bloody Mary with a variety of classic garnishes, including celery, olives, and a pickle. In addition to the classic recipe, this article also includes recipes for a spicy Bloody Mary, a vegetarian Bloody Mary, and a Bloody Mary bar. So whether you like your Bloody Marys classic, spicy, or meatless, we have a recipe for you.
**Additional Recipes Included in the Article:**

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.
