Melanie B.'s Note:

I copied this out of an old vintage cocktail book one time, I don't remember what it was called, but I've always liked this drink...although I don't indulge in it very often. It is sort of a twist on a Bloody Mary with extra flavor and kick. You can substitute the pepper infused vodka with plain.
