   I enjoy a few Bloody Mary's on Halloween, what is your favorite Bloody Mary recipe?
   Here is mine:

   Bob's Bloody Mary

   2 oz Vodka
   6 oz V8 Juice
   1 tsp Horseradish
   1/2 tsp fresh Lime Juice
   4 dashes Tabasco Sauce
   4 dashes Worcestershire Sauce
   1 pinch ground pepper
   1 pinch Celery Salt

   Add several ice cubes to a highball glass, 
   grind some pepper on top and add some celery salt to make seasoned ice cubes. Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice cubes, and shake well. Strain the mixture over the ice cubes in the highball glass. Squeeze a lime slice over the drink and drop it in the glass.

   Ok... here's how I make them at home.

   While I like to sometimes use V8; I prefer to use the juice from a can of diced stewed tomatoes.
   In a "Rocks Glass":
   1 shot of vodka
   1 "Tablespoon" of Tobasco
   1-1/2 Tablespoon of (aged anchovy sauce) otherwise know as Worcestershire Sauce.
   Salt, pepper, and garlic powder on the ice cubes.
   Garnish with a fresh jalapeño cut so it will fit on the rim of glass.
   Grind fresh black pepper on the surface (for a good "nose").
   If it isn't spicy or dark enough add more Tobasco and Worcestershire Sauce.

   If you prepare it correctly it should smolder...
   Don't forget to "dip" the jalapeño in your drink and munch on it while you drink.

   I like:

   1/3 absolut peppar vodka
   2/3 spicy hot v8
   4-6 shakes tobasco
   2-3 shakes worstershire
   Add some celery salt and cayenne pepper

   Shake

   Add pickle spear, carrot, 3 olives and 3 pickle chips

   IMO, bloody Mary's are the only use for vodka.

   No Baskerville it won't take the hair off of your chest.
   But, you do have to watch out for your mustache.

   Vodka ,vermouth , olive , drink liberally . Wake up the next day and drink tomatao juice with breakfast .

   I like a jalapeño with mine, too, Lawrence! Sometimes when I do the jalapeño thing, I'll sub white Patron tequila for vodka (I call it a bloody Maria).

   3 oz Türi vodka
   6 oz Tomato Juice
   4 splashes of Cholula hot sauce
   1 splash Worcestershire sauce
   1 tsp lime juice
   1/4 tsp black pepper
   1/4 tsp sea salt
   pinch of celery salt

   Shake with ice until your hand gets cold and strain into a highball glass and garnish with a lime wedge. Most of my measurements aren't exact because I've done the same thing for so long I just eyeball it. A "splash" is however much liquid comes out of the bottle when I happen to shake it. A pinch is literally a pinch between my fingers.

   Baron, on a trip to Guadlajara I learned of a drink called Tequila y Sangria.
   Translation roughly: Tequila and Blood.
   It's where I developed a taste for the "stewed tomato" juice.
   It consists of very hot (spicy wise) tomato juice (the chaser) and a tall shot of Tequila, served in separate glasses. (Sauza Tres Generaciones es mi favorito.)

   IF I'm feeling adventurous (or masochistic) I'll spice up my version of a Bloody Mary with a couple of drops of "Ground Zero The Bomb".

    Baskerville my friend your recipe is very close to mine with just a bit more tobacco and pepper then garnish of Celery stock and 2 green olives.

    Regarding other uses for vodka… I like Ketel One on the rocks with 2 large green olives stuffed with blue cheese...

    Tres Generaciones is some good stuff, Tequila-wise. Oddly, when I get the Agave bug, I usually throw down for the $13 bottle of Mezcal. A dirtier and more dangerous drink than Tequila (I shoot for Patron Silver or Anejo in that case). I like the Mezcal that has 2 worms at the bottom. You get a nice crunchy treat if you survive the trip to the bottom.

    Up here, you order a Bloody Mary, and you're likely to be served it's salty cousin, a Ceasar.
    I make mine two at a time as such:

    4oz Vodka
    12oz Mott's Clamato (tomato juice/clam nectar)
    12 shots Tabasco
    4 shots Worchestershire
    Juice of 1/6 lemon
    Pinch of Celery Salt
    Pinch of fresh cracked black pepper (fine)

    Serve in cocktail glass rimmed with seasoning salt/celery salt mixture; I like to add a pickled bean but most go with a celery stalk.

    I am going to have to try adding some horseradish ala Baskerville; that is a great idea! We recently found some great "Wasabi Horseradish", kind of a mix of the two flavours into something wonderful.

    Baronsamedi be very careful about drinking Mezcal.
    Unlike Sauza, Patron, or even Montezuma and Jose' Quervo etc.; Mezcal comes with a worm and is only distilled once.
    Tequila is actually distilled twice, and by law has no Agave worm.
    There are traces of methyl alcohol in Mezcal. (also known as Wood Alcohol)
    Mezcal IS NOT tequila.
    Therefore I will never drink it.
    Also; Mezcal can be made with something other than Blue Agave.
    Tequila cannot be made with anything but Blue Agave.
    Granted there are varying grades of Blue Agave.
    But, Mezcal... Who knows?

    Side note: The cooked Blue Agave used in making tequila tastes like Sweet Potato Casserole WITH marshmallows.

    IMO, bloody Mary's are the only use for vodka.

    I have to disagree a little here. Vodka, Kahlua and cream. White Russian. Or, according to Jeff Bridges in "The Big Lebowski" a Caucasian. 1 part each over ice in a rocks glass. Stir and enjoy. Think I am off to make one.

    But, on topic

    Vodka, Spicy V-8, Tabasco or Frank's Red Hot, Worcestershire, celery salt, olive, celery stalk and pepper. For a more adventurous affair, El Yucateca Habanero sauce instead of Tabasco. No set measures, just to taste.

    Just don't mix vodka with vermouth and call it a Martini. That bothers the shit out of me. A Martini is GIN and VERMOUTH, nothing else. I almost became physically violent with a bartender once who insisted that a Martini was made with vodka.

    Here's an interesting twist on the Bloody Mary for all you carnivores.
    Bullshot
    2 measures vodka
    4 measures cold beef consomme'(Campbell's)
    1/2 measure lemon juice
    1/4 measure Worcestershire sauce
    2 dashes Tabasco
    pinch celery salt
    pinch cayenne pepper
    Mix with ice in a pitcher. Then strain into a highball half-filled with ice

    I'm with schmitzbitz. Definitely use Clamato over V8 or tomato juice. Only I use limes instead of lemons.
