Best Bloody Mary

 Dick R (New York) says:
... and... dummy me! I thought I discovered this years ago. It is so much lighter and tastier than the "traditional" BM mix.

Substituting Clamato Juice for V-8 provides a better taste.

6 oz V-8 Juice
Tsp. Worcestershire sauce
2-3 dashes hot sauce (Louisiana or Tabasco)
(can also, substitute jalepeno juice for hot sauce..excellente!)
1 tsp of fresh horseradish (taste as go..more..is better)
1/4 fresh lemon or lime divided
vodka
celery stick

Shake V-8, Worcestershire, hot sauce, horseradish, lemon or lime juiced, and vodka together.

Pour over cracked ice in 12 oz glass. Twist remaining 1/8 lime over drink. Poke celery. We make all the ingredients in a gallon container (without the vodka) and let it marinate before serving to guests...the longer it sets..the better it is. Horseradish is an excellent addition to the mixture. Enjoy!!

 Mike (California) says:
I added 4 oz. vodka with 8 oz. v8 and followed your recipe. I added celery seed, it was drinkable, which I can't say about any Bloody Mary from scratch recipes I've developed. Kudos to you.
