My Best Original Bloody Mary Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pitcher, stir together the tomato juice, clam juice, and lime zest. In a small glass measuring cup, whisk together the lime juice and wasabi powder and add to the pitcher. Stir in the Tabasco, Worcestershire, vodka, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Spread the Old Bay Seasoning on a small plate. Moisten the rims of six highball glasses by running a lime wedge around the edge of each glass and dip the rims in the Old Bay Seasoning. Set aside to dry.
• Fill the glasses half full with ice and pour in the Bloody Mary mixture. For each drink, add 2 or 3 olives threaded on a 6-inch skewer, then place one shrimp and one slice of lime on the rim of each glass. Serve cold.

Steps:

• Place Worcestershire sauce, peppers, salt and lemon juice in a cocktail shaker or a wide-mouth jar. Add ice, vodka and tomato juice. Shake well.
• Pour into a highball glass or goblet.
• Garnish with lime, and serve.

Steps:

• Mix all of the ingredients together in a large pitcher except the celery and lime wedges. Add plenty of ice.
• If you use the celery, process it very finely. Then take a clean piece of cloth or a dish towel and place celery in the middle. Wrap the cloth around the celery and squeeze, while twisting for the juice. Add the juice to the mix. I know this may seem time consuming though in my opinion the flavor is more fresh and appealing than using celery salt.
• Garnish with lime wedges or any of the myriad garnishes you like for bloody mary's, sit back, relax and enjoy!

Steps:

• Place tomato juice in a large container with a tight-fitting lid. Add lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish, garlic, pepper, and Tabasco; shake vigorously. Taste, and adjust for seasoning; the mixture should be quite spicy.
• Pour 1 part vodka and 3 parts Bloody Mary mix over ice in a shaker. Shake well. Pour into glasses. Squeeze a wedge of lemon over drink (do not subsequently stir or shake drink), discard used wedge. Garnish with a large stick of celery (reserve extra stalks for munching) and a large lemon wedge.

Steps:

• 1. In the bottom of a glass, combine pepper, horseradish, hot sauce, and pickle juice.
• 2. Mix well until horseradish is almost smooth (you could use a mortar and pestle, but if you don't have one, just stir fast and for at least a minute).
• 3. Pour Absolut over (if you're making these in advance if you let the mixture sit in the fridge for half an hour or so it turns out even better).
• 4. Fill glass 3/4 with cubed ice and fill to 1" below the rim with V-8.
• 5. MOST IMPORTANT STEP - SHAKE WELL! Stirring doesn't cut it. If you don't shake it, you'll get clumps of horseradish. If you don't have a shaker, pour back and forth between two glasses at least 5-6 times. The more the better.
• 6. The finale - fill the final inch of the glass with a splash of beer, the darker the better!
• 7. Serve in a glass with a salted rim (Kosher salt can sub for margarita salt), pickle spear, and celery.
