We periodically enjoy a Bloody Mary on the weekend. My husband likes to make these up and I thought I would put a recipe out there for him. We make our with organic vegetable juice but you can certainly use just tomato juice.

Taste and adjust salt and peppers to your taste. I personally like more lemon.
Skewer your olives and lemon wedge on a long tooth pick or garnish stick,
Trim your celery and cut the pieces to be a few inches longer than your glass is tall.
Fill glasses with ice and place your garnishes in the glass.
Fill the glasses with the Bloody Mary mix and top with a sprinkle of black pepper or celery seeds if desired.
Notes
This may or may not be a Snap Pea Sheep recipe. The recipe's for a Bloody Mary are fairly standard. This is how we make them though.Sometimes I rim the glass with a chili-lime salt. Fresh horseradish added to the beverage can kick it up a notch. Adjust to taste but for this recipe about 5 tablespoons will do it. Look for my Gochu Mary Cocktail recipe for an Asian twist!
