Preparation

Step 1

Combine all of the above in a container with a sealable lid and shake well.

Fill a tom collins glass with ice. Pour 1 1/2 ounce of vodka into the glass. Fill the rest of the glass with the Tomato juice mixture. Stir well and garnish with whatever you like.

To make a bloody mary bar: Put Tomato juice mixture into a pitcher. Place out for your guests along with a bottle of vodka, bucket of ice, and little bowls of the garnishes, along with glasses and a mixing spoon. Your guests can assemble their own cocktails however they'd like.
