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.

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.

THE secret to a good bloody mary - no matter what your basic recipe
- is FRESH lime juice. Fresh lemon may do in a pinch.

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.

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

When I'm in the mood for a bloody mary (which isn't all that often) I buy
Texas Redeye. The hot stuff will knock your socks off!

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.

They're called *Caesar* and I like mine extra spicy with large olives on
a stick rather than celery. A dill pickle quarter is nice too.

Have you ever tried that?? It's horrible! I bought a
bunch of cans of it (must have been Costco, all I can
think) never having tried it ... took me months before
I admitted the error of my ways and ditched it.

Hey, I wasn't the one complaining about V-8 being salty. (laughing) And
it's just a sprinkle of celery salt! My father bought my mom two CASES of
low-sodium Campbell's soup - one was chicken noodle, the other chicken &
rice. He was trying to be helpful. She said, "Jill, this stuff is awful!
Do you want it?" Sure, Mom, I love awful stuff!

Commercial tomato juice tends to be too salty for my tastes. Last year
I made my first batch of homemade tomato juice. In homecanning the salt
can be omitted in most recipes so I omit it. I was so pleased with the
resulting tomato juice, I'm going to make double the amount of it this year.

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

But they make those little tiny TV's that fit in your pocket! Wasabi has no
place in a bloody mary, in my opinion. Ask your step-mom; she's Japanese,
she'll tell you. This would be like putting ground dried peas in your saki.

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
:-)

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

I never ever put lemon juice in my bloody mary's, who
knew? I will do so.

Ah, is that the problem, the carrot juice? I like V8, but I'll
take tomato juice instead, either way. Whatever I can get in
those plastic jars.

(laugh) These are for hanging out by the car waiting for the game to
start while eating various mismatched foods, from cookies to stromboli
to cheese and crackers to ... all in no particular order. Oh! that reminds
me, I should make some potato salad.

(smile) The first tailgate of the season is always the most fun. As the
season goes on it's more like ... just grab a sub from Joyce's and let's go.

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.

Sorry, slowly catching up on posts.

Crash used to hang out in a bar where they stuck a bouquet of celery sticks
into a pitcher full of vodka and let them soak for a day. The celery
packed a bigger punch than the drink did!

We used to go to a bar where they put a sausage in the drink instead of
celery. Kinda like Slim Jims, but edible.

Oh, and you need green olives.

I suppose now I'll read the rest of the thread and discover that all of
these have already been suggested. <G>
