A Bloody Mary is my go-to cocktail. I love the sweetness of the tomato and that bite of spice! We don’t drink alcohol around here, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have the drinks you love… here is one of my favorite ways to make it….

• 7 ounces tomato juice
• 1/2 ounce lemon juice
• 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
• 1 dash Tabasco sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon horseradish
• 5-6 green olives
• celery from the heart, with the leaves
• cracked black pepper

In a medium pitcher add the first 5 ingredients and stir well. Pour into a glass over crushed ice.. drop in your olives and garnish with the celery. Crack the black pepper over the top of your glass and sit back and relax…..

Note: If you want the alcohol, add a half to a whole shot of vodka to your glass beofre you pour in the tomato mix.
