  • 4 oz tomato juice
  • 1 oz pickle juice (from a jar of your favorite pickles)
  • ½ oz fresh lemon juice
  • ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ tsp prepared horseradish (optional, for extra spice)
  • 2 dashes hot sauce (adjust to taste)
  • ¼ tsp celery salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Ice

For the Rim (Optional):

  • 2 tbsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • Lime wedge

For Garnish:

  • Dill pickle spear
  • Celery stalk
  • Cherry tomatoes
  • Green olives
  • Lemon wedge

Prepare all the ingredients before to start.

Instructions

Let’s break down the process into easy-to-follow steps.

Step 1: Prepare the Rim (Optional). On a small plate, mix the kosher salt, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Run a lime wedge around the rim of a tall glass, then dip the rim into the seasoning mix to coat it evenly.

Step 2: Mix the Drink. In a cocktail shaker (or directly in the glass), combine the vodka (or tequila), tomato juice, pickle juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, horseradish (if using), hot sauce, celery salt, and black pepper.

Step 3: Shake or Stir. If using a cocktail shaker, fill it with ice and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, until well chilled. If mixing directly in the glass, stir well to combine the ingredients.

Step 4: Serve. Fill the prepared glass with ice (if not already added), then strain the Bloody Mary mixture over the top (if using a shaker). Stir gently.

Step 5: Garnish Like a Pro. Skewer cherry tomatoes, olives, and a pickle onto a cocktail pick, then place it in the drink. Add a celery stalk and a lemon wedge for extra flair.

These steps are very simple.
