Bloody Mary Mix

Ingredients:
– 4 cups tomato juice
– 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to taste)
– 1 teaspoon horseradish
– 1/2 teaspoon celery salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Optional: vodka, celery stalks, olives, pickles for garnish

Instructions:
1. In a large pitcher, combine the tomato juice, fresh lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, horseradish, celery salt, and black pepper. Stir well to mix all the ingredients thoroughly.

2. Taste the mix and adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more hot sauce for heat, lemon juice for a tangy kick, or salt and pepper for extra flavor. Remember, this mix will be the base for your Bloody Mary, so make sure it suits your taste preferences.

3. Cover the pitcher and refrigerate the mix for at least 1-2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. For best results, refrigerate overnight to develop a richer taste.

4. When ready to serve, give the mix a good stir before using. Fill a glass with ice and pour in 2 ounces of vodka (or more if desired).

5. Top off the glass with the prepared Bloody Mary Mix. Stir gently to combine the vodka and mix.

6. Garnish your Bloody Mary with a celery stalk, olives, pickles, or any other favorite toppings. The garnishes not only add a visual appeal but also enhance the overall flavor of the cocktail.

7. Serve your homemade Bloody Mary Mix chilled and enjoy the zesty, flavorful goodness of your creation with friends and family.

Experiment with this recipe by adding your twist—try smoked paprika for a smoky flavor, or fresh herbs like basil or cilantro for a herbal twist. You can even include pickled jalapeños for an extra kick or swap out the traditional vodka for gin or tequila for a unique twist.
