Equipment

Instructions
- Fill your highball glass with ice to chill while preparing the cocktail.
- In a cocktail shaker or mixing glass, combine the tomato juice, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, celery salt, black pepper, cumin, garlic powder, and horseradish (if using).
- Stir well to combine all ingredients and dissolve the spices.

- Empty the ice from your chilled glass (or keep it if you prefer your drink over ice).
- Strain the mixture into the glass.
- Garnish with a lime wedge, celery stalk, or pickled jalapeño for an authentic Mexican touch.
Notes
- For an extra-special Bloody Maria, try rimming your glass with a mixture of salt, chili powder, and ground cumin before pouring. This adds another layer of flavor and an attractive presentation.
