Zee Spotted Pig Bloody Mary

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. :)
