Beet Bloody Marys Recipes

Steps:

• In a blender combine the tomato juice, lemon juice, lime juice, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, pickle juice, and hot sauce and process until smooth. Transfer to a nonreactive container and add celery salt and black pepper, to taste. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled, at least 2 hours and up to overnight.
• When ready to serve, fill each glass with ice.
• Add 1 ounce of vodka to each glass, then fill the glass with the bloody mary mix. Stir well, and garnish each glass with your favorite veggie, pickle, celery, pickled green bean, or a pickled okra.

Steps:

• Salt the rim of a tall glass. To do so, pour salt onto a small plate, moisten the rim of the glass on a damp towel and press into the salt. Fill the glass with ice cubes.
• In a cocktail mixer full of ice, combine the vodka, vegetable juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot pepper sauce, salt and pepper. Shake vigorously and strain into the glass. Garnish with a stalk of celery and olives stuck onto a toothpick.

Steps:

• Purée tomatoes, celery, and 1 cup beet juice in a blender until very smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on solids to extract all of liquid (you should have about 2 cups); discard solids. Transfer to a pitcher. Stir in remaining 2 cups beet juice, lemon juice, Worcestershire, hot sauce, 1 tablespoon horseradish, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Taste; stir in more horseradish as desired. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours, or store in an airtight container up to 5 days (or freeze up to 1 month).
• To serve, pour beet mixture into highball glasses filled with ice. Stir 1 1/2 to 2 ounces vodka into each serving (or pour on top as a floater), if using. Garnish with celery stalks, lemon wedges, hot sauce, more pepper, and salt; serve immediately.
