Decided to make this in preparation for my trip to New Orleans which has wonderful Bloody Mary's. It was really good and I enjoyed the flavor, it was spot on. I never got a chance to post this before leaving on my trip, so I must say it rivaled a couple of the Bloody Marys I had in New Orleans and surpassed many of them.

This is the best Bloody Mary I had. I used celery seed instead of celery salt. Thanks AZPARZYCH :) Made for the Australian Recipe Swap for October 2011

Three cheers for Wisconsin! The last time I had a Bloody Mary that tasted and looked this good was about 30 years ago when my cousin took me to a posh cocktail bar in New Orleans. For this one, I cut back just a bit on the black pepper and skipped the clam part of the tomato juice (not available in Australia). Can imagine adding a beef stick. Can also recommend it as a delicious and refreshing drink on a hot summer day.

Very good bloody mary, a bit salty for me, so I'd decrease the celery salt or use low sodium tomato juice next time. Enjoyed on a beautiful weekend morning. Thanks for sharing!
