Bloody Mary

Tomato juice, lemon and savory seasonings frame vodka in this gently stirred highball. The hot sauce, celery salt and pepper are measured starting points; product salt levels and personal heat preferences vary.

Bloody Mary served in a highball glass with a celery stalk and lemon wedge against a black background.

Active preparation: 4 minutes

Ingredients

  • 45 ml Vodka
