I make mine alcohol-free. (I’m not a teetotaler- just prefer them that way.) Love, love, love Zing Zang mix straight over ice, but most often dress up a Low Sodium V8 with whatever’s on hand, including, but not limited to: Lemon, Lime, freshly cracked pepper, Tabasco, Sriracha, Worchestershire, olives (with a splash of brine), celery, celery salt, ground celery, random hot sauce from the hot sauce sampler my in-laws give me for birthdays and Christmases, horseradish, or perhaps, soy. I adore Clamato on its unembellished own. The 1 thing that does NOT go into my drink is Vodka, which, I think, in Australia, is known as a “Bloody Shame”!

Same as the OP, but Tequila. Or not. I don’t care. I’ll drink it anyway.

Celery salt on the rim, worcestershire sauce (or A1 steak sauce), hot sauce, black pepper, green olives, a skewer containing various cubes of cheese, pickle and cold shrimp. Ketel One vodka and Zing Zang bloody mary mix. If available, a splash of Guiness. If not, a sidecar of beer, preferably a wheat ale.

Sacramento tomato juice, Worcestershire, black pepper, Tabasco, a couple of generous slices of fresh lemon and Kelchner’s horseradish. Oh, and vodka. Fairly simple but very good.

Pretty sure I’ve posted this a few times. Sue me. Take about a half pound or so of habanero peppers, cut them in half to remove the seeds and stem, and stick the peppers in a bottle of vodka for a few weeks. Use this vodka for your Bloody Mary.

I don’t advise doing shots of this vodka. Well, maybe one, but I doubt you’d want another.

</div>

Firstly, do it right and use Gin. Pint glass with ice, V8 or Clamato, Buffalo chipotle hot sauce(2-3 dashes), 1 dash L&P, twist of lime, couple of shakes of celery salt and a celery stick to garnish/stir/snack.
