Ingredients

16 oz tomato juice
2 TBS fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 TBS lime juice
½ TBS Worcestershire sauce
a few shakes of Tabasco
½- 1 TBS prepared horseradish not horseradish sauce
2 teaspoons of pickle juice
1 teaspoon olive juice
1 teaspoon pepperoncini juice optional
A few shakes black pepper
1 TBS Old Bay seasoning
4-6 ounces of good quality vodka or more
Garnish ideas: Pickle spear celery stalk green olives (plain or stuffed with blue cheese), shrimp, pepperoncini, lemon slice or a lime slice
Additional Garnish: I also like to serve some homemade spicy cocktail sauce on the side for dipping the shrimp I then will toss some in my Bloody too it is SO good!

Instructions

Wet the rim of two (16-20 oz) glasses with a piece of fresh lemon. Then dip the glass rims into a tablespoon of Old Bay seasoning (shake it onto a flat dish).
Fill glasses halfway with ice.
Mix all of the ingredients together in a separate pitcher or container, stir it up well, and then pour mixture into prepared glasses.
Slide in a pickle spear or stalk of celery, a few Old Bay seasoned cooked shrimp, a couple of big fat olives, a hunk of cheese a crab leg or whatever you have on hand and you are good to go. You can also add a lemon and or a lime slice, and if you’re feeling crazy add a whole pepperoncini.
You can garnish a Bloody Mary with whatever you dream up! The greatest thing I ever saw was a Bloody Mary called the Bloody Beast for charity. $50 and topped with a whole roast chicken and more! Of course THAT bloody served 2-4!

Notes

Make this Bloody Mary Recipe as spicy as you enjoy. Tip, the way to really make it spicy yet with good flavor is good quality horseradish, Old Bay seasoning and some spicy pickle or pepper juice. Adding too much hot sauce to attempt to spice it up results in the feeling of drinking hot sauce vs a good Bloody Mary.

Have fun coming up with all the garnish ideas, there is no bad garnish in my book! I once saw a whole fried chicken atop a Bloody Mary as well as once has a stack of cheeseburger slides on a skewer atop a delicious Bloody Mary in the Florida Keys.
