Bloody Mary

No one helps you recover from the terrible decisions (at least drinking decisions) made the night before than good old Bloody Mary!  We hosted a New Years Eve brunch today and made sure everyone had plenty to drink.  You can make this recipe as spicy/tame as you want by adding more or less of the Tabasco sauce and pepper.  All of the garnish items are optional but it definitely makes things even better!

Per drink (fits in pint glass size):

1 cup tomato juice
2 shots vodka
About 1 cup ice cubes
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon freshly grated horseradish
3-5 dashes hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
1 pinch salt
1-3 dashes freshly ground black pepperJuice of one lemon

1 stalk celery (optional garnish)
1 lemon wedge (optional garnish)
Olives (optional garnish)
Pepporoncini (optional garnish)
Pickled green beans (optional garnish)

Mix together the first 9 ingredients in a pint glass.  Garnish to your taste.  Drink one and repeat until hangover is all gone.
