There's something about Mary

Bloody Mary, that is. In yesterday's post I wrote about burgers and how you can make 'em really tasty by adding Worcestershire Sauce. Of course, burgers isn't the only thing that turn out well with the addition of Worcestershire Sauce. As you without a doubt have already figured out, so does Bloody Mary. I always make a pitcher of Virgin Mary and put it in the fridge over night before adding the booze. That way the flavors get a chance to socialize a bit and blend together better. Of course, if you're impatient (or just really hung over) and need your fix right away, by all means, knock one down immediately.

1/4 oz lemon juice
Worcestershire sauce
celery salt
ground pepper
Tabasco sauce
1 1/2 oz vodka
4 oz tomato juice
1 tsp grated fresh horseradish

Stir over ice and garnish with a celery stalk.

Skål!
