Equipment
- Pint glass
Ingredients
- lemon wedge
- 1/2 teaspoon celery salt for the rim
- 4 ounces tomato juice
- 2 ounces vodka
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
- 3 dashes Worcestershire sauce
- 2 to 3 dashes Tabasco or other hot sauce
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
For Garnish:
- celery stalk
- olives
- lime or lemon wedge
Instructions
- Sprinkle the celery salt onto a small plate. Run a lemon wedge around the rim of a pint glass. Dip the rim in the celery salt until well coated.
- In the pint glass, combine the tomato juice, vodka, lemon juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and pepper. Stir until well combined.
- Add enough ice to fill the glass and stir again. Garnish with celery, olives, lime or lemon wedge
Notes
- If you’re a slow drinker and don’t want a diluted Bloody Mary, chill the tomato juice and vodka beforehand so you can use less ice.
- For an even colder drink, chill the glasses in the freezer beforehand.
- For a smoother cocktail, strain the drink before serving, so you get the horseradish flavor and not the clumps.
- Make the drink virgin by skipping the vodka.
- Always use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled lemon juice. It’ll taste more bright and flavorful.
- Skewers and cocktail picks are perfect for holding garnishes if you plan on adding more.
