This bold and vibrant update of the classic Bloody Mary is the perfect way to upgrade your brunch or any party! Plus it's easy to customize the exact way you want it.
For 1 drink: Add all the ingredients you're using to a cocktail shaker. Fill halfway with ice and shake until cold and the ingredients have blended, about 30 seconds. Fill a highball glass with ice, strain in the Carrot Bloody Mary and garnish with a celery stick.
For 8 drinks: fill a pitcher with 1 quart (32 oz.) carrot juice, 2 cups (16 oz.) vodka or clear tequila, 3 tbsp. + 1 tsp. lemon or lime juice, 1 tsp. fine sea salt, 1/2 tsp. each Worcestershire, hot sauce and freshly ground black pepper. (If using the optional ingredients: 4 tsp. horseradish, 1 tsp. celery seed and 1/4 tsp. cayenne.) Stir until salt has dissolved. Taste and adjust seasonings. Fill 8 highball glasses with ice, pour in the drink and garnish with celery sticks.

If vegan or strict Paleo, substitute coconut aminos for the Worcestershire sauce.
