BLOODY MARY ALA INA GARTEN
I love a Bloody Mary with texture. I have always wanted to make my own mix and this looks outstanding. Make it as mild or spicy as you like by adding more or less horseradish or Tabasco. These will be even tastier if you make this cocktail several hours before serving or the day/night before. Great for brunch! UPDATE: 8/3/08- Keep the Tobasco & Worcestershire handy! This is refreshing but IMO needs more Tabasco & Worcestershire, consider yourself warned. LOL!

Horseradish makes this the best Bloody Mary recipe we've tasted. Without the horseradish, you'll have a more traditional Bloody Mary, and without the alcohol, you'll have a Virgin Mary. Serve with a stalk of celery, dill pickle spear or olives. -Taste of Home Test Kitchen
