Worcestershire, for sure, and I usually put just a bit of prepared
horseradish in it (not the creamed style).

Of course, horseradish. Maybe I'll take it on the side.

salt for the rim?...

pickled whole green beans or pickled asparagus spears works fine instead of
celery.

Celery salt, rather than celery seed (who wants *seeds* in their drink?).
If you can't find a good mix (Texas Redeye is good down this way and comes
in a variety from pretty much plain tomato juice to HOT) I'd use the V-8
regular and the V-8 Spicy. Let people pick and choose whether they want to
add more hot sauce. Lots of people swear by clam juice. Why clam juice
came into the picture I don't know. I adore clam soup but not with tomatoes
and certainly not in my bloody mary's!

Additional garnishes- wedges of fresh limes.

Canadian drink a Ceasar!

Wasabi!!!

Get some good paste (or make your own from powder is better) stir that in to mix
it well. A powerful zing to the BM!! Can add a teaspoon of prepared horseradish
as well for a combined flavour Wasabi/Horseradish

I never could understand Beefamato, either. I usually make my own
concoction, but does anyone still use Mr. & Mrs. T mix?

For me.

lemon or lime
drop the V8 - go with regular.
Celery salt not seed.
I like a shot (tablespoon) of Cocktail sauce or horseradish.
Tabasco
Worcestershire
Vodka
Ice
:-)

That's the thing, celery seeds get in my teeth and are annoying. But,
since I usually use V8, it's already so salty ... but then so is tomato
juice,
no?

I think they're called by a different name when Clamato is introduced into
the picture. I love that variation.

You're missing lemon juice. We prefer tomato juice to V-8 to avoid
that nasty carrot juice, but that's just personal preference. If we
can hide it in a big pitcher we sometimes but in several stalks of
parsley. Horseradish, wasabi, etc. are best available for individual
choice. The big unknown is whether these are simply brunch Bloody
Marys or the more critical medicinal morning after marys. The latter
need more black pepper and more salt. -aem

This weekend I had a house guest who likes Bloody Marys. I was SHOCKED at
how much the mix is (Mr. & Mrs. T?), it's just tomato juice all dolled up...

Anyways I bought V- 8 and basically did yer recipe. I had some leftover soy
sauce and some wasabi from a previous sushi meal, so I added that. Oh, and
I had some limes so I also put some lime juice in...

The verdict was "very tasty!"...I garnished with a big skewer of black
olives, shrimp, pickled artichoke hearts, Swiss cheeze, and little cornichon
pickles, not too shabby.

Get the V8 that's "Spicy Hot" or Picante.....
I like "English Prime Rib Rub" from Penzey's in my Bloody Mary, too.
(It's got a little salt, but also pepper, ground celery seed and other good
things).

Worcestershire....oh wait, I see you're using tabasco, so maybe you don't
need the spicy hot V8. Horseradish adds another dimension of "hot" and I
actually prefer the horseradish heat to the tabasco heat. I also prefer
chipotle vs. tabasco....

My fav. bloody mary mix is V8, worcestershire, ground chipotle, ground black
pepper, the prime rib rub, lemon juice (a must)....plus vodka, of course.
And I prefer a dill pickle spear to the celery stalk.

Yummy stuff.
