Time 15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

3 cups Sacramento tomato juice
2 (8-ounce) bottles clam juice, such Bumble Bee
1/2 teaspoon grated lime zest
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (3 to 4 limes)
2 teaspoons wasabi powder
2 teaspoons Tabasco Chipotle Pepper Sauce (see Cook's Note)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup good vodka, such as Grey Goose
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning
1 lime wedge, plus 6 lime slices, for garnish
18 large pimento-stuffed olives, such as Sable and Rosenfeld
6 cooked and peeled jumbo shrimp, with tails on

Steps:

In a large pitcher, stir together the tomato juice, clam juice, and lime zest. In a small glass measuring cup, whisk together the lime juice and wasabi powder and add to the pitcher. Stir in the Tabasco, Worcestershire, vodka, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Spread the Old Bay Seasoning on a small plate. Moisten the rims of six highball glasses by running a lime wedge around the edge of each glass and dip the rims in the Old Bay Seasoning. Set aside to dry.
Fill the glasses half full with ice and pour in the Bloody Mary mixture. For each drink, add 2 or 3 olives threaded on a 6-inch skewer, then place one shrimp and one slice of lime on the rim of each glass. Serve cold.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your Bloody Mary will be. This means using fresh tomatoes, celery, and cucumber. If you can, try to use organic ingredients as well.
Make your own tomato juice: If you have the time, making your tomato juice is a great way to get the freshest flavor possible. Simply blend some tomatoes with a little bit of salt and pepper, then strain the mixture through a cheesecloth or fine-mesh sieve.
Use a good vodka: The vodka you use will make a big difference in the flavor of your Bloody Mary. Choose a vodka that is smooth and has a clean flavor. Some good options include Tito's, Absolut, and Grey Goose.
Don't be afraid to experiment: There are many different ways to make a Bloody Mary, so don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. Some popular additions include horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, and olives.
Garnish your Bloody Mary: A garnish can add a lot of flavor and visual appeal to your Bloody Mary. Some popular garnishes include celery stalks, olives, and pickle spears.
