In a shaker:
3 shots of Vodka
3 of guiness
hot sauce (5 healthy hits on the bottle for me, but to taste for the wusses)
ground black pepper (also to taste, but i put a goodly amount in, a good 10-15 turns of the grinder)
cayenne pepper (again to taste, i go with 5-10 heavy handed hits on the shaker)
minced garlic (couple table spoons)
horseradish (to taste, but i throw in a heaping tablespoon or more)
worcestershire (3-5 splashes)
bitters (5 good smacks)
olive brine (a healthy splash or two, less than a shot, more than a tbps.)
lemon juice (5 good squirts)
celery salt (3-5 good hits on the bottom of the shaker)
stir, don't shake or the guinness carbonation will foam.
ice in your glass, third of a glass with the above mix, two thirds tomato juice (we like campbells cause it's thick), into a boston shaker, back into the glass, and garnish. We prefer jalapeno stuffed olives, garlic stuffed olives, vermouth spiked onions, or if you can find them, Santa Barbara Olive Co. makes bleu cheese stuffed olives. Other acceptable garnish includes large cajun blackened shrimp, celery stalks to stir, wedge of lemon, etc...
have fun.
Phil, I am going to try this out,
I tried some smoked sea salt last time I did the bloody mary mixing and it went over really well...I've also been seeing asparagus & pickle spears lately.
