I make a great Bloody Mary, but I don't really measure much...and the recipe varies depending on what I have in the kitchen.
Yuri's Bloody Mary (an approximation):
8 oz tomato juice (generic, spicy Clamato, spicy V8...whatever's around)
1-2 oz vodka (Absolut works nicely in mixers...don't waste the good stuff)
Juice of 1/4 to 1/2 a lime (depending on the size of the lime)
1 Tbsp Worcestershire
A few drops of good hot sauce (Tobasco, Cholula's, etc)
Maybe a few more drops of hot sauce
Generous addition of fresh ground pepper (for the adventurous, add some fresh ground red pepper flakes)
Dash celery salt
Pinch horseradish (optional)
Shake with ice, strain (or don't strain...doesn't matter to me) into a glass rimmed with seasoned salt (Lowry's). Garnish with lime.
