Notes
- Store leftover Bloody Mary mix in the refrigerator up to 4 days to maintain flavor.
- Clamato adds umami flavor; use tomato juice if you prefer a more straightforward base.
- Choose your preferred vodka; high-end vodka is not necessary since the tomato blend dominates.
- Celery salt can be homemade from celery leaves or store-bought; it enhances the cocktail's savory notes.
