How to Make
-
Step 1: Note: It is important to remember, that Bloody Mary's are all about "your" taste. You can make more of a citrus flavor, less horseradish, more hot sauce, more olive tasting, etc.; so, make sure to start out with a little of each, then, you can add more; according to what you like. Experiment first, to find your favorite blend.
-
Step 2: Mix ... Add all the ingredients to a large pitcher (except the vodka), and mix to combine. Taste then adjust. Maybe a bit more horseradish or hot sauce, etc. Then cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour to let all the flavors develop.
-
Step 3: Serve ... Right before serving, you can add the vodka right to the mix; or you can add to each individual glass as you prepare them. It just depends how you plan to serve them; both methods work.

Step 4: Garnishes ... I love grilled shrimp skewers or a celery stick; some people love to add a pickled jalapenos. And, you can also add a skewer of olives and cucumber bites. Anything you like.
