Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp (15g) celery salt
- 1 tbsp (15g) smoked paprika
- 1 lemon wedge for rimming
- 2 cups (475ml) premium low-sodium tomato juice
- 6 oz (180ml) grain vodka
- 2 tbsp (30ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tbsp (15ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp (10g) prepared horseradish
- 1 tsp (5ml) hot sauce
- 0.5 tsp (2.5g) freshly ground black pepper
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 4 stalks leafy celery
Instructions:
- Mix the 1 tbsp celery salt and 1 tbsp smoked paprika on a small plate. Rub a lemon wedge around the rims of four highball glasses and dip them into the spice mixture until evenly coated and dark red. Note: The paprika adds a smoky aroma that hits your nose before the drink hits your tongue.
- In a large pitcher or cocktail shaker, combine the 2 cups tomato juice, 6 oz vodka, 2 tbsp lemon juice, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 2 tsp horseradish, 1 tsp hot sauce, 0.5 tsp black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt.
- Roll the drink by gently pouring the mixture back and forth between two vessels 4 to 5 times. Do this until the spices are no longer clumped and the color is uniform. Note: Rolling preserves the weight of the tomato juice better than shaking.
- Fill the prepared highball glasses with fresh ice. Stop when the ice is level with the rim to ensure the garnish has a stable base.
- Pour the Bloody Mary mixture over the ice until the liquid is just below the spice rim.
- Garnish each glass with a leafy celery stalk. Wait for the leaf to stand upright before adding the next element.
- Add one lemon slice to the edge of each glass.
- Finish by placing a green olive on top or skewering it with the lemon.
- Serve immediately while the condensation is just starting to form on the glass.
