i always forget how decadent a bloody mary becomes once you ADD the vodka! i am a self-admitted bloody mary FIEND .. i have looked at every recipe on this site, over and over again. i also sometimes forget that just because a recipe doesn't already have umpteen-million-some reviews, that it should be discounted. I. LOVE. THIS! i am hesitant to rate it, because I made some of my own additions (a liberal helping of fresh lemon juice, a heaping scoop or so of horseradish, more than a pinch of celery salt, and halved the vinegar with pickle juice..), but the base value recipe is definitely worth giving testament to. Until today, the best bloody mary I'd ever even had was (sadly?) in an airport [it was pretty divine..]. But, that's old news. THANK YOU!! ..ps- i also used Mott's Vegetable Medley, in place of the V8, and garnished with a pickled okra :)

okay, I love Bloody Marys but have never been able to make my own. DH liked this one. What I did differently was to substitute dill pickle juice for the vinegar, added a couple of liberal shakes of celery salt, and squeezed a good sized wedge of lime into the drinks.

Wow, this stuff rocks! It is better than my favorite expensive store brand. I made the recipe as written, with the following 2 changes: I used spicy hot V-8 instead of the regular <br/>V-8 and I used half white vinegar and half dill pickle juice (Claussen brand) to equal 1/3c. as written in the recipe. I plan on setting up a Bloody Mary bar for a brunch this Sunday and wanted to test this recipe. It more than passes with flying colors!

I added a couple of heaping tablespoons of horseradish to this mix for a little added kick... and boy did it kick!!! Absolutely delicious! I don't think I'll ever buy a mix from the store again.

Great bloody mary base. Premade mixes are so expensive for what they consist of. We like to garnish our drinks with celery and the big green olives. I sometimes kick this up with extra hot sauce and of course a bit of horseradish. Thanks for posting a delicious & economical recipe !!
