INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup Vegetable Juice (See notes below)
- 1 tsp Shinedown Symptom Sauce
- 1 tbsp Pickle Juice
- 1 tsp Clam Juice or Clamato
- 1 tsp Lime or Lemon Juice
- 1-2 tsp Prepared Horseradish
- 1/4 tsp Ground Celery Seed
- 1/2 tsp Fresh Ground Black Peppe
- 1-2 oz Vodka, Gin, or Tequila
GARNISHES
- Old Bay seasoning or Tajin
- Celery sticks
- Pickled veggies
- Bacon
DIRECTIONS
- Mix together the first nine ingredients in a shaker, measuring cup, Viking drinking horn, or other vessel.
- Grab your favorite glass (mine is a mason jar) and rim it with Old Bay or Tajin. To rim a glass, dip the lip of it in water or lime juice, then dip it in the spice mixture to allow it to stick to the glass.
- Fill the glass with a liberal amount of ice. Nobody wants a warm Bloody Mary. Fill the glass with your drink mix and enjoy!
- When it comes to garnishes, add what you like. There are no hard and fast rules. This isn’t a soufflé or a proper Old Fashion, so have fun with it. You can use your favorite spice mix to rim the glass, use the mix minus the alcohol and combine it with a nice lager beer to make a killer michelada, or just leave the alcohol out completely and enjoy a nonalcoholic drink.
Notes: If tomatoes are not in season, I prefer to use R.W. Knudsen Family Low Sodium Organic Non GMO Very Veggie juice. When tomatoes are in season I highly recommend making your own vegetable juice. Bobby Flay has a great recipe online as well as the website “Fork in The Road”.
