CLASSIC BLOODY MARY

Steps:

• Salt the rim of a tall glass. To do so, pour salt onto a small plate, moisten the rim of the glass on a damp towel and press into the salt. Fill the glass with ice cubes.
• In a cocktail mixer full of ice, combine the vodka, vegetable juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Shake vigorously and strain into the glass. Garnish with a stalk of celery and olives stuck onto a toothpick.

GREEN BAY BLOODY MARY

Steps:

• For the Bloody Mary:
• Coat half of the rim of a cider or pint glass with celery salt. Combine all of the remaining ingredients except the garnish in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Roll the ingredients back and forth with another shaker 3 times. Fill the half-rimmed cider glass with ice and strain the cocktail into the glass. Garnish with a cornichon and a lengthwise cucumber slice wrapped around the inside of the glass or rolled into the celery stalk.
• For the Bloody Mary blend:
• In a blender, blend all of the ingredients on low speed until the mixture turns smooth. Seal in a nonreactive container and keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

BLOODY MARY RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the ice in a large jug. Measure the vodka, tomato juice and lemon juice and pour it straight onto the ice.
• Add 3 shakes of Worcestershire sauce and Tabasco (or more if you like it very spicy) and a pinch of celery salt and pepper. Stir until the outside of the jug feels cold, then strain the cocktail into 2 tall glasses.
• Top up with fresh ice, add a celery stick and lemon slice to both glasses and enjoy.

MY BEST "ORIGINAL" BLOODY MARY

Steps:

• Mix all of the ingredients together in a large pitcher except the celery and lime wedges. Add plenty of ice.
• If you use the celery, process it very finely. Then take a clean piece of cloth or a dish towel and place celery in the middle. Wrap the cloth around the celery and squeeze, while twisting for the juice. Add the juice to the mix. I know this may seem time consuming though in my opinion the flavor is more fresh and appealing than using celery salt.
• Garnish with lime wedges or any of the myriad garnishes you like for bloody mary's, sit back, relax and enjoy!
