Instructions

  1. Combine tomato juice, Clamato juice and vodka in a large pitcher and stir to blend.
  2. Add remaining ingredients (except hot sauce) and stir with a wooden spoon until all is well blended.
  3. Taste, then add hot sauce depending on how spicy you like your bloody mary (my husband likes plenty of spice!).
  4. On a small plate, combine coarse salt and Old Bay seasoning.
  5. Run a lemon or lime slice around the rim of your glass, then dip the rim into the Old Bay/salt mixture.
  6. Add ice to your glass (if desired) and pour in the bloody mary mixture.
  7. Garnish with desired items.
