Bloody Mary
INGREDIENTS
- 2 oz vodka
- 4 oz tomato juice

INSTRUCTIONS
Add ingredients to a shaker full of ice and shake vigorously. Strain into a highball glass. Squeeze the lemon wedge over the drink and drop it in. Garnish with celery sticks or other ingredients (like olives, bacon, etc...). For me, the pickle juice and horseradish really set off the drink.
