Zee Spotted Pig Bloody Mary

Manami's Note:

Bartender Anna Vanderzee suggests making the mix for this recipe one day in advance to allow the spices and horseradish to marry with the tomato juice ;). I happen to like it nice and spicy and cold!!! Chilling time, at least two hours,Cocktails 2007, Food & Wine Magazine.However, it tastes great after just 2 hours but when it is left a little longer it is fantastic. :)
