A true Bloody Mary cannot exist without Worcestershire sauce. It is one of the essential ingredients lending those hard-to-discern flavor undertones in the drink. The Bloody Mary mix can be made a day or two ahead of time just stir before mixing with the vodka.
Ingredients
- 1 quart 100% vegetable juice, preferably V-8
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 lime juice (about 2 tablespoons)
- ½ lemon juice (about 1½ tablespoons)
- 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, drained
- 2 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard

How to Make It
