Bloody Mary Mix

This is the Bloody Mary mix used in our Borscht Belt Bloody from July 2023’s Catskills Resort theme.

INGREDIENTS

3 lbs. tomatoes (or 20 oz. high-quality storebought tomato juice)
4¾ oz. lemon juice
2 oz. Worcestershire sauce
1 Tablespoon prepared horseradish
8 dashes tabasco sauce, plus more to taste
A big pinch of smoked paprika
A few big grinds of black pepper, plus more to taste
1 Tablespoon salt, plus more to taste

Yield: about 20 oz. mix, or four servings

If using fresh tomatoes, put through a masticating juicer (one that retains the texture of the fruit but removes the fibrous bits). You should have about 20 oz. juice. Combine all in a nonreactive container. Stir well and adjust to taste. Store in the fridge in an airtight container.
