Hands Down the Best Bloody Mary Ever


Old Bay Seasoning
2 oz. Demitri’s Seasoned Vodka
4 shakes (about 1 tsp) Dried dill
4 shakes (about 1 tsp) Ground white pepper
4 shakes (about 1 tsp) Celery salt
2 dashes Worcestershire sauce
2 dashes Tabasco Sauce
About .5 oz Elixir Juice (a mixture of olive brine, dill pickle brine and various other pickle brines) or pickle brine
Juice of 1 lemon wedge
1 tsp. Prepared horseradish
4 oz. Tomato juice
Garnish: Kosher dill pickle and cooked thick-cut bacon slice

Method: Coat the rim of a pint glass with Old Bay Seasoning. Add the remaining ingredients to a shaker and fill with ice. Shake lightly—you want to mix the ingredients without melting too much of the ice—and pour (unstrained) into the prepared glass. Garnish with a kosher dill pickle spear and a cooked slice of thick-cut bacon. Don’t use a straw; drink from the rim in order to get a little of the Old Bay with each sip. And eat your bacon, dammit.
