Wooden Family Bloody Mary Cocktail

This recipe has been passed down to Jughandle from his father and uncle Bud. It is a time honored and tested recipe that is good every time. The key to the entire thing is the lemon juice. If you are short of fresh lemons, don't even bother making the drink.

What You Will Need:

Necessary Ingredients:
  • 15 ounces Vodka - A decent drinkable brand
  • 42 ounces V-8 Juice - original
  • 1/2 Cup Lemon Juice - or the juice of 6 lemons
  • 2 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 Tbsp Tabasco sauce
  • 1 Tbsp Onion Flakes - dry
  • 1/2 tsp celery salt
  • 1/2 tsp caraway seeds
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper - crushed or ground
Optional Ingredients:
  • 1 tsp horseradish
  • 1 ounce Olive juice - or more to taste
For The Garnish:
  • 1/4 Cup Kosher Salt - or coarse sea salt optional
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper - to mix with the salt for the rim optional
  • 3 Olives - large olives on a toothpick
  • 1 stalk Celery - for a stir stick

Method:

The Method:

  • In a pitcher that will easily hold more than a half gallon, 62 oz.
  • First pour in the vodka. This recipe will deliver approximately 2 oz of vodka in every drink. If you like it stronger, for all means, have at it. Remember that if you use more than this recipe calls for you WILL taste the vodka. This could be good, or this could take away from your drinking pleasure.
  • Add all of the ingredients except the V-8 to the vodka and stir
  • Lastly add the V-8 and stir thoroughly.
  • Taste and adjust the seasonings.
  • Cover and refrigerate until needed.
  • I have stored a leftover batch of this Mary for several months in the refrigerator. The vodka floats to the top protecting the batch. But I don't recommend that you do this of course.

To Serve:

  • In a nice 10-12 oz glass rim it's lip with your salt and cayenne mixture. Introduce a couple or three cubes of ice. Gently pour the Bloody concoction over the ice. Sip and enjoy, repeat.
