Bloody Marys for a Crowd

This recipe makes 2 quarts, perfect to serve to a crowd at a Sunday morning brunch, or even a tailgate party. For an elegant touch, serve the drink in salt rimmed glasses, just like you would a Margarita, and stir with celery stalks.

1 46 oz. can vegetable juice cocktail
1/3 C fresh squeezed lime juice
1/4 C Worcestershire sauce
2 T sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. pepper
1/2 tsp. hot sauce (more to taste)
2 C vodka

Combine all ingredients except vodka and chill well (can be made a day or two before your party). Chill Vodka in your freezer, don't worry, it won't freeze.

When ready to start serving, add vodka and stir well. Serve over ice. Garnish with a celery stalk
