Ingredients

4 Tbsp. grated horseradish
1 Tbsp. Tabasco sauce
1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 tsp. celery salt (optional)
15 grinds black pepper
1 1/2 qt. tomato juice
Juice of 1 lemon or lime
Up to 2 ounces vodka per serving
celery
Lemon or lime wedges

Directions

1. Step 1Make the Bloody Mary base: Combine the horseradish, Tabasco, Worcestershire, celery salt (if using), pepper, and tomato juice in a pitcher and stir well. You can make the base a day in advance. Regardless of how far in advance you make it, chill it in the fridge until just before you make the drinks.
2. Step 2Just before serving, add the juice of half a lemon or lime and stir. Taste and add more citrus juice as necessary.
3. Step 3To serve, fill a glass (at Five Points we use a pint glass; you could also use a wineglass) with ice, add up to 2 ounces vodka, and top with the Bloody Mary base. Serve with a trimmed celery stalk. Have additional horseradish, Tabasco, and small lemon or lime wedges available to guests who want to add additional seasoning to their drinks.
