Classic Bloody Mary Cocktail Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Using a thin lemon wedge run the rim of the glasses getting it wet with the lemon juice. Place several teaspoons of celery salt on a sallow plate and dredge the wet rims of the glasses through the celery salt.
• 2. In a large pitcher stir together lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon celery salt, V8 vegetable juice, vodka, horseradish, brown sugar, Worcestershire Sauce. Tabasco Sauce, pepper and pickle juice. Chill for at least 2 hours.
• 3. Pour over ice filled glasses and garnish as desired with green olives, grape tomatoes, dill pickle spears, bacon or pickled green beans.
• 4. NOTES Use 1/2 teaspoon from any remaining celery salt from the rimming of the glasses to mix in. Garnish as desired. See my complete list of garnishment ideas in the post.

Steps:

• Fill a pint glass or goblet with 1 1/2 cups ice. Set aside.
• Combine tomato juice, vodka, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, black pepper, and 1 cup ice in a mixing glass. Stir until chilled and strain into ice-filled pint glass or goblet.
• Garnish with a celery stalk.

Steps:

• Place the ice in a large jug. Measure the vodka, tomato juice and lemon juice and pour it straight onto the ice.
• Add 3 shakes of Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco (or more if you like it very spicy) and a pinch of celery salt and pepper. Stir until the outside of the jug feels cold, then strain the cocktail into 2 tall glasses.
• Top up with fresh ice, add a celery stick and lemon slice to both glasses and enjoy.
