The Bloody Mary is the perfect way to kickstart a morning or wind down an afternoon.  Unfortunately more and more when you order a Bloody Mary it consists of Bloody Mary Mix, Vodka and a celery stalk.  Most Bloody Mary Mixes are extremely high in sodium so make your own and enjoy.

Bloody Mary

Vodka

Tomato Juice

1/2 Tablespoon of Old Bay

1/2 Tablespoon of Soy Sauce

Few Dashes of Crystal Hot Sauce

Few Dashes of Worcestershire Sauce

1/2 Tablespoon of Horseradish (optional)

Pickles to Garnish

The pour is up to you but 1/4 Vodka to 3/4 Tomato Juice is about right.  I like to use a Mason Jar, not because I am a hipster, it makes for an easy way to mix all the ingredients.  Pickled Wax beans make for the perfect garnish but any pickled vegetable will do, skip the celery.  I opt-out on the horseradish but I am a ‘no pulp’ person, if you like a little pulp then by all means add the horseradish.
