Notes
- If you’re a slow drinker and don’t want a diluted Bloody Mary, chill the tomato juice and vodka beforehand so you can use less ice.
- For an even colder drink, chill the glasses in the freezer beforehand.
- For a smoother cocktail, strain the drink before serving, so you get the horseradish flavor and not the clumps.
- Make the drink virgin by skipping the vodka.
- Always use fresh lemon juice instead of bottled lemon juice. It’ll taste more bright and flavorful.
- Skewers and cocktail picks are perfect for holding garnishes if you plan on adding more.
