The Perfect Bloody Mary

 Most Bloody Marys are just tomato juice with worcestestershire sauce added to it and sometimes a little horesradish but i wanted something with more flavor. Here is what I like to call the Perfect Bloody Mary

The base for a good Bloody Mary is the tomato juice. During tomato growing season I can dozens of jars of juice for my Bloody Marys. Store bought juice will do but it is a little thicker than the juice I make myself.

Worcestestershire sauce and horeseradish are important ingredients but the addition of herbs and spices bring the drink to the next level.

Here is how I make it

1 pint tomato juice

2 Tbsp prepared horseradish
