Remember, there is no wrong answer here. We bring a signature Bloody Mary mix made with fresh pressed tomatoes, lemon, horseradish, Worcestershire, Old Bay seasoning, and a splash of stout beer. Are you drooling yet? If you buy your own, make sure to get the best juice in terms to taste and zing. V8 Vegetable Juice has no extra sugar in it. Sacramento Tomato Juice is one of the smoothest in the game. Delmonte 100% Tomato Juice is a trusted brand that tastes natural and simply has a heavier delivery to it. Pickle juice is vital to this concoction.
