What with New Years rapidly approaching, it seems to me that we need some recipes for the bestest Bloody Mary drinks in the world. I don't have one very often, but New Years Day is a tradition. I don't have anything resembling a good recipe, so am asking the asylum to post their best here.

So, what's yours?

5-6 ice cubes
2 ozs vodka
dash of daves insanity roasted garlic hot sauce
dash of worstershire
salt/pepper/lime juice
Tomato juice (i prefer clamato juice tho to make bloody caesars)

An alternative to the hot sauce is a teaspoon of some nice hot horseradish, also a favorite of mine

ANy would be garnished with a celery stick and an olive

A slice of lime.

I prefer to use clamato ( its actually a Cesar) I prefer horseradish and always pretty much serve a salad with it. Pepproncini, shrimp, celery, stuffed olive. On occasion I will use a pearl onion, pickled green bean or asparagus. As to quantities, I think it is of personal taste. You can also use beef bullion and make a bloody bull. Dont forget black pepper, lime, celery salt and worstershire
sauce.

I know it's past New Years but here's one I just love:

2 oz Vodka
4 oz Spicy V8 Tomato Juice
Juice of 1/2 Limes
1 1/2 tsp Worcestershire Sauce
6 dashes Tabasco Sauce
Pepper
1 Lime wedge


Add vodka, juices and sauce to a
shaker with ice
Add pepper to taste.
Shake vigorously.
Strain over ice cubes
into a highball glass and add a lime wedge

I like 'em spicy!

In a pint beer glass:

Prepared horseradish 1/2 - 1 teaspoon (not cream style)
2-3 shakes Worcestershire sauce
5-6 shakes of pepper sauce, (Tabasco etc)
1/4 - 1/2 lime squeeze out the juice, throw the lime in too
1-2 jiggers of GIN Seagrams, Boodles, Gordons, etc. (save the expensive stuff for the martinis)
V8 juice,cold is better (save room for the ice)
Stir and add ice cubes & celery stalk
Top with fresh pepper and Lawry's seasoned salt
